Im working on a project that involves searching with google. I have
been getting an http 403 error with the following code:

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

public class GoogleSearchTest
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
        URL hp = new URL("http://www.google.com/search?q=babelfish");
        URLConnection hpCon = hp.openConnection();
        hpCon.connect();
        InputStream input = hpCon.getInputStream(); // error traces to here

               /*
                  This code is all irrelevant to my problem because
the inputstream is refuted
               String content = "";
        int c;
        while((c = input.read()) != -1)
            content += (char)c;
               */
    }
}

I know that http 403 error means that the server understood the
request, yet refused it. As you can probably tell I have very little
network programming experience, so maybe more experienced programmers
could help alter my approach, or explain a better one? Thanks.
