BufferedReader InputStreamReader question

[Robert]

Hi group,

when I run the following example code, everything works fine as for
the applet gets a response from the serber and displays it. What it
displays is not what it is supposed to display though. It should
display "Hello TestApplet servlet talking!". What I get is a cryptic
string that looks like binary code.
I would appreciate any hints on what I could do to get the real output
string.

Rob.

public class TestApplet extends Applet{

private String line;

public void init () {
try {
URL url = new URL(
"http://127.0.0.1/servlets/test?name=TestApplet");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
line = in.readLine();
in.close();
}catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

g.drawString (line, 20, 40);
}

PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
out.println ("Hello " +
req.getParameter("name") +

out.close();
}
