Answer 1

Have a look to HttpURLConnection object (in java.net package). A example of the code :
URL url = "http://myServer/myJpegServlet";
HttpURLConnection uc = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
uc.setDoInput(true);
uc.setUseCaches(false);
uc.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
InputStream dataIn = uc.getInputStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[512];
while( (dataIn.read(buf)) != -1 ) {
//Do what you want with the data
datain.close();
uc.close;
Hope this helps!
