Connect to URL and dump webpage in Groovy

I would like to open a webpage from groovy, dump the specified webpage and eventually dump the webpage behind an anchor tag.

Does anybody has some sample code for this?

as for me any getter method which actually can have params is handier to call directly. getText('utf-8') cannot be shortcuted. – shabunc Feb 08 '12 at 09:53

Love this. When I code in Groovy, I feel guilty since complicated tasks are so simple! – Piko Apr 18 '19 at 17:49

This is a good example

Basically you want to do something like

def data = new URL(feedUrl).getText()
