import tag in JSTL

[Rohit Bhagwat]

Hello sir,madam

my jsp file has the following code

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<c:import url="http://www.wickedlysmart.com/skyler/horse.html"/>

However I get the following exception

javax.servlet.ServletException: Problem accessing the absolute URL "http://www.wickedlysmart.com/skyler/horse.html". java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect

Can anyone suggest what might be the problem ?

The error message is self explanatory. Verify that you can access the URL by going to the page.
