    Default How to download protected web page using JAVA

    We have a task, to design a class which can download source of any web page. But when I try to test my code and fetch page like http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=main – nothing is working.
    Standard code like this fails:
    import java.net.*;
    import java.io.*;
     
    public class URLReader {
        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
            URL link = new URL("http://www.anidb.net/");
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
            new InputStreamReader(link.openStream()));
     
            String inputLine;
            while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
                System.out.println(inputLine);
            in.close();
        }
    }
    Here is the result I got: Šwq>²"¦§5´ïÇUº=ôÙö?kŠ}~“bd`?l“Ïçz¢Çêõ>"?j׉R“y}K¸\ Ìc_DLÙªÏ_ –óMm_¼_0”•ö°ËC_aí½sî¤ìÁS ‚>dC0ìs_–y¹ñ±ÏÝÜAø%ÈäÖáæ©A@,4x„Š¶ëɃ?
    I have tried everything: cookies, header files but nothing seems to work. If you have some hint for me, I will appreciate it. I’ve been thinking about this problem for to weeks. Thanks.

    Default Re: How to download protected web page using JAVA

    Try using a a different class that will return the HTTP header etc instead of just the contents.
    Try your code with another website that returns an html page. Its possible that the site you are going ti does not return an html page.

    When I read from that site I get this:
    hdr> Date: Sat, 22 Sep 2012 12:22:41 GMT
    hdr> Server: Apache
    hdr> Cache-control: no-cache
    hdr> Pragma: no-cache

    hdr> Vary: Accept-Encoding

    hdr> Keep-Alive: timeout=4, max=50
    hdr> Connection: Keep-Alive
    hdr> Transfer-Encoding: chunked
