Hi everyone,

I don't have much experience with Java. We are looking at the
possiblility porting a Windows app/plugin to Java. 

We need to do the following:

* Obtain an HTML page from somewhere on the internet. This might be a
"GET" or it could be the result of a "POST". Note this page resides on
some random server, which we do not own.

* Read the HTML page we obtain into memory and then parse it.

I had looked at Java very briefly once before, and I came away with the
impression that this was not possible because of security restrictions
built into the language. However, I didn't spend much time investigating
it...maybe I got it wrong? 

Can anyone tell me if this is possible with Java?  If so what are the
basic functions you would use to do this?

Thanks!
