HttpURLConnection should follow redirects by default. If you do not want this to be the case, set setFollowRedirects to false.

You can also go old school low level and just open sockets to the server in question. Thats a lot more work of course, but probably twice if not three times as awesome.

Haha. I don't think he knows HTTP protocol in a level that allow him to fetch this website, it's too complicated for a beginner. Maybe use BSD sockets in C instead? Will be more funny ;)

ujjwal:
What is fetched instead of the thing you want?

I just dial into the website with my phone and scream binary tones into the receiver and handwrite the response... in octal :P

It doesn't Fetch the Source Code of the URL That I inserted. instead It fetch the Source code of URL that is Redirected by the previous URL

I already used this but it doesn't give the Output that i want...Even it gives the Source code of Redirected Webpage

Like I said, thats because of the level of the network stack you are on. Java's URL connections are automatically following the redirect. The thing is, if you are getting a HTTP 302 response from the server, then the page itself probably doesn't have any content. I would be curious exactly what message you are getting from the server in response to the initial query.
