HTTP GET request

[tog]

Hi,

I need to send the following request to a server:

GET SID HTTP/1.1

Doing this using sockets work like a charm.
Is there a way to do it using a URLConnection ?

Otherwise stated is the request above a valid GET request (with
respect to rfc2616) ?
Or should it be:

GET /SID HTTP/1.1

Regards
Guillaume

My read is that the request line
GET SID HTTP/1.1
is not technically valid; I would expect most servers to reject it
with 404 Not Found or 400 Bad Request. Says the RFC (which you
could've read for yourself):

Request-Line = Method SP Request-URI SP HTTP-Version CRLF
Request-URI = "*" | absoluteURI | abs_path | authority

abs_path is understood to begin with a slash representing the server
root, and is used as such in the description of HTTP URLs elsewhere in
the RFC.
