Which is fast URLConnection or Socket

Question

For getting data from remote url which connection type will work fast URLConnection or Socket.

Answer 1

Although it depends on the type of data, server etc.
I agree with r0ast3d.

According to me if server allows both the things, then I would prefer to use URLConnection.
Both sends data using streams, but wait mode in Socket is bit high than in URLConnection.

Please correct me If I am wrong.
