wrote, quoted or indirectly quoted someone who said :

URL url = new URL("http://www.wickedlysmart.com/HeadFirst/
HeadFirstJava/HeadFirstJavaIndex.html");

It seems odd to specify a specific document, then throw it away and
take just the host "www.wickedlysmart.com".

Is your server prepared to start a raw socket on port 80?

I suspect instead your server is waiting for a GET or POST.

See http://mindprod.com/applet/fileio.html

for how to write the code for that.
