How to launch a browser with URLConnection content

Question

Hi,
I'm new in Java programming, trying to write a Java application to send
something to server and get response through HTTP. By following some tutorial material, I did
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class URLConnectionReader {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        URL yahoo = new URL("http://www.yahoo.com/");
        URLConnection yc = yahoo.openConnection();
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                                new InputStreamReader(
                                yc.getInputStream()));
        String inputLine;
        while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
            System.out.println(inputLine);
        in.close();
}And got the source HTML. But how can I launch a default browser and send the header and HTML to the browser?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the solutions. I'm more interested in the 2nd solution.
However, when I tried it, the thread never returns from ss.accept().
Here is the code I wrote. Can you tell me what I did wrong?
Thanks.
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class URLConnectionReader {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
      URL url = new URL("http://www.yahoo.com");
      HtmlRelay relay = new HtmlRelay(url);
      relay.run();
      Runtime.getRuntime().exec("mozilla http://localhost:8080");
class HtmlRelay extends Thread
  URL url;
  public HtmlRelay(URL u) { url = u; }
  public void run()
     try {
        URLConnection urlc = url.openConnection();
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                               new InputStreamReader(
                               urlc.getInputStream()));
        final ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(8080);
        System.out.println(ss.toString());
        Socket accept = ss.accept();
        System.out.println(accept.toString());
        OutputStreamWriter os = new
OutputStreamWriter(accept.getOutputStream());
        BufferedWriter ou = new BufferedWriter(os);
        String inputLine;
        while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
            ou.write(inputLine);
            System.out.println(inputLine);
        ou.flush();
        ou.close();
        in.close();
     } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
}
