Java Forum / First Aid / November 2005URLConnection - status?
Can't seem to find how to get the status of a connection under Java 2 5.0. Under 1.4.2 there were all sorts of static ints to give you this info, but 5.0 only has a single protected boolean flag. Short of going back to 1.4.2, does anyone know how to get the status? e.g. is it a 404-page not found error?

I have never known Sun yet to drop a method or field. They deprecate them.  SignatureCanadian Mind Products, Roedy Green. http://mindprod.com Java custom programming, consulting and coaching.

The object you have is likely a java.net.HttpURLConnection or HttpsURLConnection or JarURLConnection. Look at methods in those classes. e.g .HttpURLConnection.getResponseCode. You could not possibly store info about a connection in a static field. That has to go in instance fields, otherwise how would you know which socket it applied to? the static ints you are likely thinking of, e.g. HttpURLConnection.HTTP_NOT_FOUND are constants used to fake enums or represent numbered error messages.

My bad - you're absolutely right, I had been confusing URLConnection with HttpURLConnection. > On Tue, 1 Nov 2005 09:05:29 +0000 (UTC), John Mowbray > <jmowbray2003@hotmail.com> wrote, quoted or indirectly quoted someone [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > HttpURLConnection.HTTP_NOT_FOUND are constants used to fake enums or > represent numbered error messages.
