Python URL Handling (HTTP)

Now this is another example of the expressiveness you get from a scripting language:

Get some HTTP resource using Python urllib:

 import urllib 
my_url='http://diveintomark.org/xml/atom.xml' 
data = urllib.urlopen(my_url).read() 
print data 

Same thing in Java:

 public class HttpClient
{
  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
  URL url = new URL("http://diveintomark.org/xml/atom.xml");
  URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
  con.connect();
  HttpURLConnection httpConnex = (HttpURLConnection) con;
  InputStream inputStream = httpConnex.getInputStream();
  BufferedReader b = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
  String l="";
  while ((l=b.readLine())!=null)
    System.out.println(l);
  }
}
