Help with cookies and HTML

You can use HttpURLConnection to read a file from a web site. The class allows you so set the http headers. A Cookie is simply a header record sent with the http request. Here is an example of setting up some headers. Its not a valid example. It just shows that the properties are just key/value strings.

URL url = new URL(...);

HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();

conn.setRequestProperty("Accept-Language", "en-ca");

conn.setRequestProperty("Accept-Encoding", "gzip, deflate");

conn.setRequestProperty("Cookie", "the cooke data goes here"");

conn.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");

conn.connect();
