Try adding:
con.setDoInput(true);
con.connect();
here.

There's nothing special in Manager that would do this (although you're
going to have to include an appropriate "Authorization" header in your
request to bypass the 401 response asking for BASIC authentication). It's
more likely to be related to the order of calls on your URLConnection --
see the javadocs for java.net.URLConnection (and the Networking Trail in
the online tutorial at <http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial>) for more
information on this.
