Parsing a URL

Sample - 1

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

public class ParseURL {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        URL aURL = new URL("http://example.com:80/docs/books/tutorial"
                           + "/index.html?name=networking#DOWNLOADING");

        System.out.println("protocol = " + aURL.getProtocol());
        System.out.println("authority = " + aURL.getAuthority());
        System.out.println("host = " + aURL.getHost());
        System.out.println("port = " + aURL.getPort());
        System.out.println("path = " + aURL.getPath());
        System.out.println("query = " + aURL.getQuery());
        System.out.println("filename = " + aURL.getFile());
        System.out.println("ref = " + aURL.getRef());
    }
}

Here is the output displayed by the program:

protocol = http
authority = example.com:80
host = example.com
port = 80
path = /docs/books/tutorial/index.html
query = name=networking
filename = /docs/books/tutorial/index.html?name=networking
ref = DOWNLOADING

// File Name : URLDemo.java

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

public class URLDemo
{
   public static void main(String [] args)
   {
      try
      {
         URL url = new URL(args[0]);
         System.out.println("URL is " + url.toString());
         System.out.println("protocol is "
                                    + url.getProtocol());
         System.out.println("authority is "
                                    + url.getAuthority());
         System.out.println("file name is " + url.getFile());
         System.out.println("host is " + url.getHost());
         System.out.println("path is " + url.getPath());
         System.out.println("port is " + url.getPort());
         System.out.println("default port is "
                                   + url.getDefaultPort());
         System.out.println("query is " + url.getQuery());
         System.out.println("ref is " + url.getRef());
      }catch(IOException e)
      {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
   }
}

A sample run of the thid program would produce following result:
 

$ java URLDemo http://www.amrood.com/index.htm?language=en#j2se 

 

URL is http://www.amrood.com/index.htm?language=en#j2se

 protocol is http authority is www.amrood.com 

file name is /index.htm?language=en 

host is www.amrood.com 

path is /index.htm port is -1

default port is 80

query is language=en

ref is j2se
