HTTPClient is a small BlackBerry J2ME class that gets web content from a URL.

NO INTERNET CONNECTIVITY
If you can't get a connection to the internet (and have verified it by opening the browser on your BlackBerry simulator), then you probably need to start the MDS server. This is a .bat file in the simulator plugin path.

import java.io.InputStream;

import javax.microedition.io.Connector;
import javax.microedition.io.StreamConnection;

public class HTTPClient {
	public static String getPage(String url) {
		String response = "";

		try {
			StreamConnection s = (StreamConnection)Connector.open(url);

			InputStream input = s.openInputStream();

			byte[] data = new byte[256];
			int len = 0;
			StringBuffer raw = new StringBuffer();

			while( -1 != (len = input.read(data))) {
				raw.append(new String(data, 0, len));
			}

			response = raw.toString();

			input.close();
			s.close();
		} catch(Exception e) { }

		return response;
	}
}
