Thread: Open a URL and read it line by line (Works in Eclipse but not from Command Line)

Hi, I am trying to use this code which works fine in Eclipse but when I try to execute the program from the command line it just hangs forever and can never accesses the URL.

I am trying to run this program from my home computer on a localhost and I have no idea why this isn't working. I read online and some articles suggested using a proxy but I am not behind a proxy or anything. And again this code works fine when I run it in Eclipse so I guess Eclipse is auto-configuring settings to get this code to work.



URL link = new URL("http://www.yahoo.com");
System.out.println("got to this line 1");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(link.openStream()));
System.out.println("got to this line 2");
//InputStream in = link.openStream();
String inputLine = "";
int count = 0;
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
{
System.out.println("line: " + inputLine);
site = site + "\n" + inputLine;
}
in.close();
System.out.println("got to this line 3");



It gets to the print statement inside of the while loop then all of a sudden the connection gets reset and it stops printing the file. It always stops at the same place.
