URLConnection

[Randall Twede]

I am doing a GET from an applet. According to the article I read, this is all I need:

  public void quit() {
    String location = "http://javaguy.yi.org/examples/servlet/StartingBalanceServlet?balance=" + balance;
    URL url = new URL(location);
    URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
  }

I am wondering why there is no try block and why the connection is not closed.
Well the compiler says I must handle MalformedURLException and IOException.
I am having a problem though see this thread: http://www.javaranch.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/002104.html
