Import URL images in Java from a secure website

Question

I tried to import an image from a website, and when you load the website for the first time, there is some kind of redirect server that allows only browsers. I tried this:

public class TestURLImage {
public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException, IOException {
    EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            try {
                UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
            } catch (ClassNotFoundException | InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException | UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
            }

            try {
                String path = "https://kissanime.to/Uploads/Etc/12-15-2012/726336142483.jpg";
                System.out.println("Geting Image from " + path);
                System.out.println();    
                URL url = new URL(path);
                BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(url);
                System.out.println("Loading image into frame...");
                JLabel label = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(image));
                JFrame f = new JFrame();
                f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                f.getContentPane().add(label);
                f.pack();
                f.setLocation(200, 200);
                f.setVisible(true);
            } catch (Exception exp) {
                exp.printStackTrace();
            }

        }
    });

}}

But I get an error message:

Geting Image from https://kissanime.to/Uploads/Etc/12-15-2012/726336142483.jpg

So is there any way to get the image? Or at least what's the problem?

Answer 1

I suggest you use something more advanced, like apache HTTP Client library . You will have much more control over the entire message. For example, you can install a standard user agent to fake a normal request.
