Connect to another website using Java Applet

Hello all,

Would someone please tell me how can i connect to a website using Java Applet and read the output stream from that site.

Thanks in advance.

You can read the Java Socket tutorial

Thanks for your reply..

I have tried this and it's giving me errors while compiling.

Code:

---

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;


public class testapplet extends Applet
{

URL myURL = new URL("http://www.google.com");
URLConnection conn = myURL.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setDoInput(false);
 
InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();


    System.out.println(is);

}

---

All i want is just a very simple and basic applet to connect to a website and grab the text response.

Thanks in advance.

If you knew anything about programming, you'd know you can't place your method calls from the class body.

You'll have to override the start method.
