The spec for java.net.URL.getContent() reads:
--------------- javadoc for URL.getContent() jdk1.4.0b84 ---
public final Object getContent()
throws IOException
Gets the contents of this URL. This method is a shorthand for:
openConnection().getContent()
Returns:
the contents of this URL.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O exception occurs.
------------------------------------------------------------
However, if an attempt is made to get the content of non-existing URL, the
NPE is thrown instead of IOException. This bug appears if one loads the
following sample applet under netscape plugin (Solaris 2.8):
-------- test.html -----------
<html>
<EMBED type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.4"
width="600"
height="400"
code="Test"
codebase="file:."
</EMBED>
</html>
-----------------------------
------------ Test.java --------
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Test extends Applet {
public void start() {
URL url = null;
try {
url = new URL("http://swordfishtrambone/files/index.html");
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
System.err.println("Unexpected exception:" + e);
return;
}
try {
url.getContent();
System.err.println("No exception thrown");
} catch (java.io.IOException e) {
System.err.println("IOException:" + e);
}
}
}
