java.net questions

[quahog]

Is there a better newsgroup to post questions about the java.net package? I
have a simple program that uses the URLConnection class to access a specific
web site and grab information off of it. But I want to do the same for a
site that that requires me to log in first. What class(es) do i need to be
using to access the URL, then have my program pass the id/pw and then access
the content on the resulting page?

Thanks!

I flipped that around to put the easy way first.
