I wrote the following little snippet of code. I was specifically
interested in gathering various pieces of information about the remote
file such as date last modified, and content type.  However, I always
get the same responses:  0 for date last modified, and text/html for
content type.  

Is there a secret to making this work?  I used to do this all the time
when I used Kawa with the JDK 1.1.x distribution.

import java.net.*;

public class testit {

  static public void main(String[] args)  throws Exception {
	URL hp = new URL("http://myserver.com/Images/new.gif");
     	URLConnection hpc = hp.openConnection();
	System.out.println(hpc.getContentType());
	System.out.println(hpc.getLastModified());
  }
}
