By "this is a protected URL", do you mean that the page would ask for a
username/password if you accessed it with a browser? If so, you've got two
choices:
* Call "uc.setAllowUserInteraction(false)", which will disable the fact
that your servlet engine has probably posted a username/dialog box
on your server's console. This will probably trigger an exception,
but that is still better than hanging.
* Include an "Authorization" header in your request (using the
URLConnection.setRequestProperty method), with the username
and password properly encoded.
