still confused why UnknowHost is NOT fired

[Costa Lamona]

Hi

I am still confused about how java.net works

String httpRequest = "http://www.yakhoo.com/";     
URL url = new URL(httpRequest);
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
 
conn.setConnectTimeout(10000);
conn.setReadTimeout(30000);
        
//sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection$HttpInputStream 
 
InputStream stream = conn.getInputStream();
//System.out.println(stream.getClass().getSuperclass().getName());
stream = new BufferedInputStream(stream);
 
BufferedInputStream buffereds = (BufferedInputStream)stream;
 

the strange thing is that although there is nothing called yakhoo.com
sometimes an input stream returned, but also sometimes it fires UnknownHostException when you try to get the stream,

so what is happening??

Thanks

There is, indeed, a site at www.yakhoo.com .
