You need to find out why
.openConnection()isn’t working. Catch the exception thrown by that call and print out the exception’s full stacktrace. That should give you the information you need to start diagnosing.The javadoc for
URL.openConnection()says this:That call can occur explicitly or implicitly; i.e. when you attempt to read the response status, headers or body. Read the javadocs for URLConnection and HttpURLConnection for more details.
So it sounds like
openConnectionis working … but it doesn’t do what you expect it to.
