HTTP/ Servlet/URL/ GET/ POST / HELP!!!!

java-programmer, HTTP/ Servlet/URL/ GET/ POST / HELP!!!! I have a small problem,

I am sending a few parameters to a company.

URL url = new URL("http://www.some.com/where?usr=name&password=pass&msg=ello");

now to connect to the url i simply open a connection:

url.openStream();

This sends my parameters( usr, password , msg), this works fine.

Thing is that the person i am sending these parameters to is sending
back parameters, namely; status_code and status_description

How can i get my hands on these parameters

I am doing this in a servlet

Thanks in advance,

Cormac

Have you tried reading from the stream that you opened?

What are some examples of these codes and descriptions? Are you looking
for the 200/OK or 404/Not Found responses? Those aren't parameters, they
are http status codes.
See: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html

If it's not that, then the data you want is probably in the body of the
request. Look at what you've recieved and figure out how to parse it.
