try logging the exception itself in the error cases. just printing
"IOE" will get the fact that an IOException happened, but not any
detail.
my code is very similar to yours. HttpResponse = HttpClient.execute
(HttpGet), InputStream = HttpResponse.getEntity ().getContent ().
then after that i start munching on the stream.
btw appending to a String each time is massively inefficient. the
right way, IMHO, to buffer a resource as a String is to use an
InputStreamReader whose products are routed to a StringWriter. use a
suitable buffer size -- i use 1024 chars.
