Saving a file returned by webserver

[cyberco]

I want to save a file returned by a webserver. Similar to clicking a
link and saving the file from within the webbrowser, I want to do the
HTTP POST and saving of the file from within a Java application. What's
the best way to go ahead?

Cheers,

You can create a URL object. If the file you want is a byte file like
an image file, then you can create a BufferedInputStream. If the file
is text, then you can create a BufferedReader. Attach the appropriate
reader to the output stream of the URL.

I already solved it using 'klyn...'s solution. Thanks for asking.
