Something along the lines of:
new URL("http://serverone/bugs/download.jsp?
num=1234&file=Jul25.txt").getContent();

<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/net/URL.html>

At the very worst case, you will need to call getContentAsStream() and
then read in the content.  although getContent() might to what you
need.

Check out java.net.URLConnection, its getContent() method might be all
you need.

Below is a quick-and-dirty example of another way to use
URLConnection, though you'll have to catch the Exceptions to get it to
compile cleanly:

public StringBuffer fetch(String sURL) {
 StringBuffer sbResponse = new StringBuffer(8192) ;

 java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL(sURL) ;
 java.net.URLConnection urlc = url.openConnection() ;
 urlc.setDoInput(true) ;
 urlc.setUseCaches(false) ;

 java.io.InputStream is = urlc.getInputStream() ;
 int nContentLength = urlc.getContentLength() ;
 byte [] ab = new byte[nContentLength] ;
 int nRead=0 ;
 while(nRead < nContentLength) {
   nRead += is.read(ab, nRead, nContentLength - nRead) ;
 }
 sbResponse.append(new String(ab, "utf-8")) ;
 is.close();
 is = null ;

 ((java.net.HttpURLConnection) urlc).disconnect() ;
 urlc = null ;

 return sbResponse ;
}
