try {
URL theUrl = new URL("http://www.yahoo.com");
URLConnection uc = theUrl.openConnection();
InputStream content = uc.getInputStream();
BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream (content);
LineNumberReader lnr = new LineNumberReader (new InputStreamReader(in));
String tempStr = "";
StringBuffer str = new StringBuffer();
while ((tempStr = lnr.readLine()) != null)
str.append(tempStr);
out.println(tempStr);
in.close();
lnr.close();
catch(Exception e) { out.println("Error:"+e.getMessage()); }

Answer 1

I was getting the same error while connecting through a proxy.
The following lines fixed the problem:
System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "[your proxy's IP]");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "[your proxy's port]");
Good Luck
