File download problem in my scala code

Question

I have written the following scala code to download a file . The file gets downloaded correctly but also an exception is thrown. The code is as follows :

var         


        

Answer 1

An alternative option is to use the system commands which is much cleaner and faster from what I can tell.

import sys.process._
import java.net.URL
import java.io.File

new URL("http://somehost.com/file.doc") #> new File("test.doc") !!
