   It seems to me that URL represents only the resource, not the
corresponding metadata (e.g. headers) sent by server. So if you want to
get everything the server is sending (headers + content), the sure way
is to use Socket and send the server appropriate request "manualy", eg.:

<code>
...
// get socket to standard HTTP port (80)
Socket sock = new Socket("10.10.80.199",80);
// get output
PrintStream output = new PrintStream(socket.getOutputStream());
// get input
InputStream input = socket.getInputStream();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(input));
// send request (this is HTTP 1.0)
// do not forget the last "\n" - HTTP request ends with empty line
output.println("GET /TestServlet HTTP/1.0\n");
// read response - it can be your code
String line;
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null)
{
   System.out.println(line);
}
...
</code>
