I want to get XML data from the web server https://ruralfire.qld.gov.au/bushfirealert/bushfireAlert.xml

However, I can't do it because my codes always have an error "javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Connection closed by peer".

And my InputStream is always null, so I can't do anything with it (such as parsing).

I ensure that the problem is in my connection but I don't know how to solve it.

This is my code in connecting to the web server:

private InputStream downloadUrl(String urlString) throws IOException {

    URL url;
    url = new URL(urlString);

    InputStream is = null;

    try {
        HttpsURLConnection con = (HttpsURLConnection)url.openConnection();
        con.setDoInput(true);
        is = con.getInputStream();

    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return is;
}

May you help me to solve this problem ?

Thank you so much.

InputStream is null because you haven't set con.setDoInput(true); – akhil Rao May 01 '16 at 04:35
Thanh you so much, akhil Rao. After I added setDoInput(true), it still did not work. However, if I changed the url = https://www.google.com , it works well. I thought that this problem relates to SSL. – Brian Tran May 01 '16 at 10:05
What are those two exceptions telling you? – greenapps May 01 '16 at 16:35
@greenapps: It said that javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Connection closed by peer. – Brian Tran May 02 '16 at 03:37
Which catch block is that? – greenapps May 02 '16 at 06:49
I changed another way to solve this problem. Topic closed. Thanks, everyone. – Brian Tran May 03 '16 at 07:05
