Hi,

I am trying to fetch the contents of a web page programmatically by using java.net.URL class. After opening the stream for the url, I am able to read the contents. I am of the opinion that this content should exactly be same as the contents of the page source.

Am I wrong? If yes, then what are the differences between those two contents?

Making us guess what the differences are isn't going to get you much help.
