to fetch response time

i tried with the method u suggested..it doesn get me the response time of the url

..is this the correct way ?

try{

System.setProperty("java.net.useSystemProxies","true");

System.getProperties().put("proxySet", "true");

System.getProperties().put("proxyHost", "");

System.getProperties().put("proxyPort", "");

long responseTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

int requestTime = 0;

if(responseTime >requestTime+5000){

System.out.println("The url is not accessible");

}

else

System.out.println("ping the url");

responseTime=requestTime;

URL yh = new URL("http://www.yahoo.com");

HttpURLConnection ut =(HttpURLConnection) yh.openConnection();

ut.setDoOutput(true);

in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(ut.getInputStream()));

String inputLine;

while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)

System.out.println(inputLine);

in.close();

}catch(Exception e){

e.printStackTrace();

}

}

}

i jus have doubt..im getting te time interval before and after pinging now..thanks to u but is it the same as the time taken to load the page on the browser.

isn t pinging jus aceesssing the url .....so is it correct to use the interval between the pinging response as the rsponse time to load a url...hope im not confusing..i am jus not sure of how exactly this concept works with pinging..
