I have certain PDF files at URLs. I can view the files in the browser.
Example URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC109492/pdf/pgen.1000626.pdf?tool=pmcentrez

But when I do

URL url = new URL("http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC" + pmcid + "/pdf/pgen.1000626.pdf?tool=pmcentrez");

URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
InputStream urlIn = con.getInputStream();

I get java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance
