To help debug, we need to see what the data was. Add a println("loc=" + location) statement to show the value being looked up. Also your error message could show the bad URL!
Then copy the output from the program and paste it here.

Do you know the format for a valid URL?
protocol hostname portnumber filename reference (without the spaces)
