I am using the following method to download a file off the internet:
try {
URL url = new URL("http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=com/cedarsoftware/json-io/4.0.0/json-io-4.0.0.jar");
FileUtils.copyURLToFile(url, new File(jsonerFolder.getParent() + "\\mods\\json-io-4.0.0.jar"));
} catch (Exception e1) {
logger.error("Downloading json-io failed with an exception");
e1.printStackTrace();
}
But the downloaded file is not a jar, rather, it is an HTML file with the following content:
<html>
<head><title>302 Found</title></head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<center><h1>302 Found</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx/0.8.55</center>
</body>
</html>
It downloads directly when accessed in a browser (in my case, Google Chrome) but it doesn't download correctly when using FileUtils.
How do I properly download a file with FileUtils?
The code 302 refers to a relocation. The correct url will be transmitted in the location header. Your browser then fetches the file form there. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_302
Try https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/cedarsoftware/json-io/4.0.0/json-io-4.0.0.jar
For FileUtils see How to use FileUtils IO correctly?
