public static InputStream getDocumentAsInputStream(URL url)
throws IOException

throws MalformedURLException,IOException{
URL u=new URL(url);
return getDocumentAsInputStream(u);
}
public static String getDocumentAsString(URL url) throws IOException{
StringBuffer result=new StringBuffer();
InputStream in=url.openStream();
int c;
while((c=in.read()) !=-1) result.append((char)c);
return result.toString();
}
public static String getDocumentAsString(String url)
throws MalformedURLException,IOException{
URL u=new URL(url);
return getDocumentAsString(u);
}

}
----------------
URLGrabberTest.java
-------------------
public class URLGrabberTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
for(int i=0;i<args.length;i++){
try{
String doc=URLGrabber.getDocumentAsString(args[i]);
System.out.println(doc);
}catch(MalformedURLException e){
System.err.println("args[i] can not be interpreted as url");
}catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
