[web] accesing web content from java ..?

erm, i have no idea what the context of this question is.

So, your writing a web browser in java. I think. Or are you doing some kind of brute force scan of your website? Are you securtity testing your pages? Or somebody elses... are you being naughty?

Try this for a question structure:



I'm using the following software.... on the following hardware.... and im trying to do this.....


When i try to do this.... This happens....


this is my code......(inside SOURCE tags please) this is the output.....


I have already tried these things......


Can anybody help me?

my code is something like this.

buffer buffer;
file="http://bublic web server/index.html";
readfile(buffer,...);
it can be a way for vbs or c++.

i is necessary this for automated web searchs.
thanks.

Well, from what i know of java i cant tell you if thats supposed to work with the buffer object. also, im not sure "buffer buffer;" is going to compile. try copy-and-pasting your code into source tags.

in other words: yes there is a way to do it but i'm not an expert enough to tell you any more. you cant load a file from the internet using the buffer object, as far as i know.

I still have no idea what your asking but you can't read webpages with standard file IO commands.

I don't mean to offend you, but I think you are trying to rip websites, which is a dubious practice.

I don't really understand the question either but my guess is that you are trying to read in the content of a web page. If that is the case, you want to be using HttpURLConnection as that is the simplest way to do it. Set it up, connect it, then use the connections's getInputStream() and read the web page contents from that.
