I have a crawler that downloads the contents of a given URL. The code
runs well on my machine. I exported the jar file to another machine
and I am not getting any results from the crawler. I am guessing this
is a security issue and that I need to check a box somewhere for the
same. I am running the code on a windows machine. It does have a
firewall , but disabling the firewall did not help.

Please let me know if you have an idea as to what the issue might be.

Regards,
Akanksha

Why guess, when the stack traces are
descriptive and specific?

Can you produce an SSCCE that
demonstrates this behaviour?

Get a dump of the console to see if you are getting any exceptions.
What Responsecodes are you getting from your HTTP GETs?
