Read a web page with SocketChannel in Java
Description
The following code shows how to read a web page with SocketChannel.
Example
import java.net.InetSocketAddress;
import java.nio.ByteBuffer;
import java.nio.CharBuffer;
import java.nio.channels.SocketChannel;
import java.nio.charset.Charset;
import java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder;
import java.nio.charset.CharsetEncoder;
/*from ww w . j a v a2 s.c o m*/
public class Main {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
String resource, host, file;
int slashPos;
resource = "www.java2s.com/index.htm";
slashPos = resource.indexOf('/'); // find host/file separator
if (slashPos < 0) {
resource = resource + "/";
slashPos = resource.indexOf('/');
}
file = resource.substring(slashPos); // isolate host and file parts
host = resource.substring(0, slashPos);
System.out.println("Host to contact: '" + host + "'");
System.out.println("File to fetch : '" + file + "'");
SocketChannel channel = null;
Charset charset = Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1");
CharsetDecoder decoder = charset.newDecoder();
CharsetEncoder encoder = charset.newEncoder();
ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(1024);
CharBuffer charBuffer = CharBuffer.allocate(1024);
InetSocketAddress socketAddress = new InetSocketAddress(host, 80);
channel = SocketChannel.open();
channel.connect(socketAddress);
String request = "GET " + file + " \r\n\r\n";
channel.write(encoder.encode(CharBuffer.wrap(request)));
while ((channel.read(buffer)) != -1) {
buffer.flip();
decoder.decode(buffer, charBuffer, false);
charBuffer.flip();
System.out.println(charBuffer);
buffer.clear();
charBuffer.clear();
}
System.out.println("\nDone.");
}
}
The code above generates the following result.
