    How to download WWW pages

    This is probably extremely easy for most of you, but how do I download the
    source code of a web page?

    Say I got an applet and when I press a button it will then go download the
    HTML source code (as plain text) for a certain web address, say
    http://abc.com/index.html and I can then manually (well with other Java
    code) go through the page and extract the information I want and then
    display it in my applet. I don't want to actually show the page in my
    applet. The reason behind this is that I would like to extract some table
    entries from an external page and combine the results. Going through the
    source code shouldn't be to hard.

    Many thanks for any help

    Rob

      Look in the java.net package, there is plenty there to get you started :-)

          You can make use of HttpClient
          (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/) to retrieve the page,
          then do whatever you want with it.
