String XXX_URL ="http://localhost:8080/PGAC/Jsps/JSP/PGACMultiItemCriteriaPage.jsp"; URL url = new URL(XXX_URL) ; InputStream is = url.openConnection().getInputStream(); int c=0; String strVal = new StringBuffer(); while ((c = is.read()) != -1) {strVal.append((char) c);} -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and reference [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [Kiran Kumar Vedula] Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2006 6:33 AM To: JSP-INTEREST@JAVA.SUN.COM Subject: Help Needed: Http Get in java I have a requirment to read a csv file which is passed from a property file , and pass the string to a JSP page.
