[Biojava-l] Question about automatic retrieval

[hz5@njit.edu]

Hi everybody!

We all know that we can write a program to automatically retrieve information 
from a specific web site. Just construct URL, then open socket, stream, read, 
parse and save, and then close everything, done!

But, when a server or website have a redirection, this cause problem, like when 
a server ask user name and password, the program will stuck.

Anybody know how to deal with that?
Thanks!
