Exception

Example 1

The following example shows the usage of Java URLConnection getHeaderFieldKey(int n) method for a valid url with https protocol. In this example, we're creating an instance of URL class. Using url.openConnection() method, we're getting the URLConnection instance. Using getHeaderFieldKey(), we're getting the keys and using getHeaderField() the value of all header fields of URLConnection instance and printing the same −

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;

public class UrlConnectionDemo {
   public static void main(String [] args) {
      try {
         URL url = new URL("https://www.tutorialspoint.com");
         URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
         for (int i = 0;; i++) {
            String headerName = urlConnection.getHeaderFieldKey(i);
            String headerValue = urlConnection.getHeaderField(i);
            if (headerName == null && headerValue == null) {
               break;
            }
            System.out.println(headerName + ":" + headerValue);
         }
      } catch (IOException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
   }
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
