hi,



i am a newbie in java and i just want to implement a very simple application to read the content from a webpage. below is my code

			

			try {
			

			url = new URL("http://www.nba.com");
			

			System.out.println("getContent....");
			

			InputStream is = url.openStream();
			

			dataInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(input));
			

			while ((line = dataInput.readLine()) != null)
			

			{
			

			buffer.append(line);
			

			buffer.append('
			

			');
			

			}
			

			System.out.println("ok");
			

			catch (Exception ex)
			

			{
			

			.... snip..
			

			}
			

			

			

			the problem is, during runtime, the process stuck at the "getcontent..." for a while then it reports Connection timed out error.
			

			

			of course, i run this from a PC with internet connection. something must be wrong.
			

			

			can someone please enlighten me.
