Error in HttpURLConnection - openConnection

I am having the following java function for check the website responce code:

URL u = null;   

try {
    u = new URL("http://bforball.com");
    HttpURLConnection huc =  ( HttpURLConnection ) u.openConnection (); 
    huc.setRequestMethod ("GET"); 
    huc.connect () ; 
}

I have imported the below:

import java.net.HttpURLConnection;

But when I compile my code I am getting warning message near

u.openConnection

Warning message:

Connot find the symbol
Symbol: mehod openConnection()
Location:variable u of type URL

What I am doing wrong?

Solution

  • I guess you have wrong import on URL class. You have to import URL with correct package :

    import java.net.URL;

    It has method openConnection()
