After which method java send real request to server?

[Ivan Franko]

for example, I have next java code:

URL u = new URL("http://google.com");
		URLConnection c = u.openConnection();
		InputStream s = c.getInputStream();
		int i;
		while ((i = s.read()) != -1) {
			
			//do something here
		}

And I cant understand, in which moment (after call what method) java send real request to the server?

The connection / request isn't made until the connect() method is called. The connect() method is called implicitly in the getInputStream() method. So in your call the HTTP request is made when you call the getInputStream() method.

Brilliant! Thank you!
