java.net.ConnectException while running the following code using apache PDFBox

Question

I'm getting java.net.ConnectException while running the below code. Can any one please help me?

package com.quantum.auto.common;

import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument;
import org.apache.pdfbox.text.PDFTextStripper;


public class PDFReader {

    public void readPDFTest() throws IOException{
        URL url = new URL("https://www.betterteam.com/downloads/employee-information-form-download-20170810.pdf");
        //URLConnection urlcon = url.openConnection();
        InputStream is = url.openStream();
        BufferedInputStream fileParse = new BufferedInputStream(is);
        PDDocument document = null;

        document = PDDocument.load(fileParse);
        new PDFTextStripper().getText(document);
        String pdfContent = new PDFTextStripper().getText(document);
        System.out.println(pdfContent);

    }   
}

this code is working for me. are you behind a proxy? any FW rules? — Adi Ohana, Jun 03 '19 at 10:49
I'm running this code on a VDI. There might be some proxy behind the scenes. — Vineesh, Jun 03 '19 at 10:54
I suggest to login the proxy and check if you have connection to betterteam.com on port 443 — Adi Ohana, Jun 03 '19 at 10:55

This is not a PDFBox question, assuming the exception happens at the `openStream()` call. You should also edit your question to include the stack trace. — Tilman Hausherr, Jun 03 '19 at 11:02
Hi Adi, I'm able to hit the betterteram url directly (through browser). But, it's not hitting the url when i run the code. Any idea, why is it so? — Vineesh, Jun 03 '19 at 11:40
Because your browser likely has a proxy configuration. Check the settings. — Tilman Hausherr, Jun 03 '19 at 12:07
How is this question related to _Selenium_? Am I missing something? — undetected Selenium, Jun 03 '19 at 12:59
