The server software is willing to access and deliver files from directories relative to this pseudo-root .
Note that the request is actually made by printing a line of text on the stream that is connected to the server.
Read and display text from the server
Finally as shown in Listing 11 , the program reads lines of text from the input stream and displays them on the standard output device.
| Listing 11 - Read and display text from the server. |

//Declare a String to read lines into.
String line = null;//Loop reading and displaying lines until null// is received.
while((line = inputStream.readLine()) != null)System.out.println(line);//Close the socket
socket.close(); |
Output from the simple browser program
In this particular case, the output was as shown in Figure 4 .

<html><head><title>Java4570b</title></head><body><form method='get'

A curious result
The requested file was a JSP file consisting of JSP tags embedded in HTML code. Curiously, only the HTML code was returned by the server. (I suppose it is also possible that the JSP tags were returned but were notdisplayed by the program for some reason.)
In any event, I will leave it as an exercise for those students who may be interested to research thematter. As I mentioned earlier:
"Getting the bytes to flow is the easy part. Beyond that, you must do all of the programming to implement an application protocol that isunderstood by both the client and the server . Often that is the more difficult part."
When there are no more lines to be read, a null is received. This causes the client to exit the input loop and to close the socket.
I encourage you to copy the code from Listing 12 , Listing 13 , and Listing 14 . Compile the code and execute it. Experiment with the code,making changes, and observing the results of your changes. Make certain that you can explain why your changes behave as they do.
