Interacting with remote web pages

[SimonSellick]

Hi,

I want to write a program which connects to a URL and interprets the pages served to it. It will eventually also need to submit/post form information back to the page server.

Can anyone suggest a starting place (book, web site) to learn techniques, classes etc? I am reasonably conversant with server-side Java, JSPs etc; but haven't done much with Applets and Apps.

Any pointers appreciated, and apologies if this isn't an appropriate post.

Thanks
Simon Sellick.

JEdit supports HTML and navigating through links.
