. Net and Httpwebrequest are equivalent in Java?

. Net has Httpwebrequest and webclient to simulate browser requests

I will Google, but I don't know what keywords to use

I want to write HTTP get and post, cookies and cookies in applets or local jars, and give responses in the form of text strings or other parseable structures

Solution

Httpurlconnection is the Java equivalent of Httpwebrequest

URL iurl = new URL(url);
HttpURLConnection uc = (HttpURLConnection)iurl.openConnection();
uc.connect();
if (uc.getContentType().equalsIgnoreCase("image/jpeg"))
{
  result = true;
}
