A servlet recieves a GET request and returns the results to a browser
and a rewritten URL appears in the address field.
How would I get such a rewritten address if I am using java to fetch
pages rather than an internet browser?
(J2SE 1.4.2)

Thanks,

Often, the GET request returns a 301 or 302 redirect, which the
browser gracefully follows.  I'm not sure you'll be able to do it
easily with the built-in URL libraries, however, I wouldn't be
surprised if you could using apache's HttpClient (google it)

Otherwise, you can open a URL connect, and figure out what to do from
there... Read the javadocs.

Thank you, I had been looking at URLConnection only. I see more
utility in HttpURLConnection class. Thanks for the Apache Tip. I
believe java follows redirects by default.
