public final Object getContent()

This first method requires that you define a content handler for the content returned by the URL

The following example dumps the content of a URL to the System.out.stream by opening an input stream to the URL and reading one byte at a time.

Example

import java.net.*;

import java.io.*;
class Example1
{
public static void main(String args[]0
{
try {
URL url=new URL(getDocumentBase(),”main.html”);
InputStream in=url.openStream();
int b;
while(b=in.read()!=-1)
{
System.out.println((char)b);
} catch(Exception e)
{ System.out.println(“Exception Due to –>”+e);
e.printStackTrace();
}
