What is it?
Your Servlet/JSP may need to send the HTTP GET request to another URL and parse the response to the request. Or, your application receives the e-mail with the URL in it. The URL points the photo image on another web server, and your application needs to save the binary contents of the specified photo image. This Java API will be useful in these situations. By the help of this API, a single line of code will be enough for getting the response to the HTTP GET request.
Set the limitation
In the real world, the URL is not always guaranteed to return the safe contents. For instance, your Servlet/JSP expects the binary contents of the photo image, but the specified URL may return the text contents. Or, even if the URL returns the binary contents of the photo image, your Servlet/JSP should accept only the images within the specific file size. This Java API is ready for these situation. As the parameters of the methods in this API, you can pass the acceptable mime-type and the maximum size of the response. Again, a single line of code will be enough to set the limitation on the response.
