java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

at lookup.main(lookup.java:30)


the unix machine is connected to the net !
its just a simple program that creates a URL object.
gets a URLConnection from this. gets an inputstream
from

http://www.dictionary.com

and an output stream. and runs
the cgi program on dictionary.com for looking up words.

anyone any idea where the error is coming from ?

in case im being vague ... heres a smidgeon of my
code.

URL url = new URL(&quot;

http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl&quot;);

URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);

PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(connection.getOutputStream());
out.println(&quot;term=&quot; + stringToLookup);
out.close();

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));

ant help greatly appreciated ...

David,

Based on the error message it appears that the server is denying your connection request. It does not appear to be a problem with the requesting machine.

Of course the error message could be misleading.

Hope this helps

try the link using

It is possible the CGI program may mess something up ????
