title: Http get request in Android 2.3.3
body: <p>I need help with sending <code>HTTP GET</code> request. My code is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    URL connectURL = new URL("url");
      HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)connectURL.openConnection(); 
  
      conn.setDoInput(true); 
      conn.setDoOutput(true); 
      conn.setUseCaches(false); 
      conn.setRequestMethod("GET"); 
  
      conn.connect();
      conn.getOutputStream().flush();      
      String response = getResponse(conn);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it fails at <code>getResponse(conn);</code> Why?</p>
