Using similiar methods as BufferReader for reading files from web

Question

Hello!
I need to read an xml-file in my application. Until now I have used BufferReader-class for that purpose, but the xml-file was located in my hard disk. No I need to get the same file but from the web.
Can anyone, please, give me some simple example for that? I'll give 10 DD for the good hint. :)

you may find this helpfulBufferedInputStream bis = null;
                    BufferedOutputStream bos = null;
                    try {
                         URL url = new URL(sb.toString());
                         URLConnection urlc = url.openConnection();
                         bis = new BufferedInputStream(urlc.getInputStream());
                         bos = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(destination.getName()));
                         int i;
                         while ((i = bis.read()) != -1) { //read next byte until end of stream
                              bos.write(i);
                         }//next byte
                    } finally {
                         if (bis != null) try { bis.close(); } catch (IOException ioe) { /* ignore*/ }
                         if (bos != null) try { bos.close(); } catch (IOException ioe) { /* ignore*/ }
               }//else: input unavailable
