Can not read data from URL.

[ramis55]

Hello,
I want to read data from URL (http://84.100.130.82:8000/;stream.nsv). But can not do it. Because when try to call function openDataInputStream() shows this error: java.io.IOException: response does not start with HTTP it starts with: ICY.
How I can fix this bug?

HttpConnection c = null;
InputStream is = null;
OutputStream os = null;
StringBuffer b = new StringBuffer();
String 		response,
responseLitle;
c = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(“http://84.100.130.82:8000/;stream.nsv”);
os = c.openOutputStream();
os.flush();
is = c.openDataInputStream();	// ERROR CODE HERE
int ch;
// receive output
while ((ch = is.read()) != -1) 
{
b.append((char) ch);
}
response = b.toString();

Regards, Ramunas

try using a socket connection instead of httpconnection...

what are you doing this optional paramter for ";stream.nsv", i have never seen it, but may not be hindering your code...

and you should always get the response code, from the httpconnection, before do the I/O, so it flushes the headers and creates the connection with web server

though, also, that does not seem to be the problem...

thanks for answer. I replace HttpConnection to SocketConnection and works fine.

It the response start with ICY, it is streaming radio format. You may try this http://www.getjar.com/products/13881/
