BufferedReader Exception

Question

I have used:

    try {
        URL _url = new URL(url);
        HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) _url.openConnection();
        BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream(), "UTF-8"));
        String line;
        while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
            teste = teste + line;
        }
        rd.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println("Exception===" + e);
        return null;
    }

    return teste;

I'm getting the following exception:

By the way, the error message is very explicit. Did you at least **read it**? — Luiggi Mendoza, Apr 30 '14 at 15:37

The problem is that that you cannot connect to your URL.UnknownHostException suggests that the address you are trying to connect to doesn't exist.
