Parse a Website for Data

[Stainnd]

I have a server that keeps track of certain stats on a web page. The html page is very plain...just labels and data like:

Web Hits: 81
Unique clicks:121

I want to write a java program that opens my web page, and gets the html source code so I can check how my numbers are doing and automatically alert myself if they are high/low. All I need is to get the source code for the website given the URL. Thanks for the help.

HTTP sits on the top of TCP/IP - so if you open a connection, you can stream the data as you would with any TCP/IP socket connection. Look at the class java.net.URLConnection - this will allow you to download your site page.
