Re: displaying URL contents via an applet

I'm trying to, via an applet, download the contents of a URL and
display them. To that end - I've written test.java (which follows).
Unfortunately, it doesn't work. After showing the "splash screen" for
a while, it doesn't output anything. Any ideas as to why?:

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

public class test extends Applet
{
    public void start()
    {
        try
        {
            URL url = new URL("http://www.google.com/");
            HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            conn.connect();

            BufferedReader text = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
            String output = "";

            while ( text.ready() )
            {
                output+= text.readLine();
            }

            add(new Label(output));
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
        }
    }
}
