Open a connection with Jsoup, get status code and parse document

Question

I\'m creating a class using jsoup that will do the following:

1. The constructor opens a connection to a url.
2. I have a method that will check the status

Answer 1

If you don't need to login, use:

Document doc = Jsoup.connect("url").get();

If you DO need to login I'd advise using:

Response res = Jsoup.connect("url")
    .data("loginField", "yourUser", "passwordField", "yourPassword")
    .method(Method.POST)
    .execute();
Document doc = res.parse();

//If you need to keep logged in to the page, use
Map cookies = res.cookies;

//And by every consequent connection, you'll need to use
Document pageWhenAlreadyLoggedIn = Jsoup.connect("url").cookies(cookies).get();

In your usage to get urls I'd probably try

Elements elems = doc.select(a[href]);
for (Element elem : elems) {
    String link = elem.attr("href");
}

That's about it.. Keep up the good work
