Something like this would work:

URL url = new URL( 
"https://someWebSite.com/giveXML.jsp?someparam=paramOne"; );
InputStream stream = url.openStream();
try
{
   // read stream here, e.g. by passing into a SAX parser via an 
InputSource, or copying into a ByteArrayOutputStream
}
finally
{
   stream.close();
}
