APPLETS and ACESSING FILES

Question

The following is my code. I want to be able to search the flat text data file for inputed query. I have managed to do it one way with out applet wise, but I had to use URL. I creates the URL but get stuck on the BufferReader more specifically the openStream method I think. Now the file I am trying to access is on the server which is behind a firewall.
any good suggestions or even new aproaches are welcomed
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.lang.Object;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.URL;
public class Goin extends Applet {
     Font f = new Font("Georgia",Font.BOLD,36);
     public void init() {
               try{
                         System.out.println("we are in");
                         URL yahoo = new URL("http://www.nj.gov/military/test/testme.txt");
                         System.out.println("assigned url");
                    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(yahoo.openStream()));
                    System.out.println("created buffer");
                    String line = in.readLine();
                    System.out.println("we read one line");
                    while ( line != null )
                         System.out.println("we are in for a while");
                         line = in.readLine();
                         int index = line.indexOf("t");
                         if ( index != -1)
                              System.out.println("we are in if");
                              System.out.println(line);
                              System.out.println("we are out if");
                         System.out.println("we are out for a while");
                    in.close();      
                    }catch (IOException e)
                    {System.out.println("Error -- " + e.toString());}     
                    System.out.println("we are finishing");}

Answer 1

they do but you have to use what i have except you may have to specify other things. Actually I just found out that the url I used is down so that may be the problem.
