Question

I am parsing an xml file.
One of the method is below :

public static String getXML(){   
        String line = null;

        try {

            DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("http://p-xr.com/xml/");

            HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
            HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
            line = EntityUtils.toString(httpEntity);

        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            line = "<results status=\"error\"><msg>Can't connect to server</msg></results>";
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            line = "<results status=\"error\"><msg>Can't connect to server</msg></results>";
        } catch (IOException e) {
            line = "<results status=\"error\"><msg>Can't connect to server</msg></results>";
        }

        return line;

}

Here, I want to replace

HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("http://p-xr.com/xml/");

by

HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("http://127.0.0.1/myfile.xml");

As i can browse http://127.0.0.1/myfile.xml in my browser.
But when i write this address to above code it doenst work.
why ?
My project requires http method to access xml file.
