The getResponseCode is a method of Java HttpURLConnection class. This method is used to get the status code from the HTTP response message. For example, if the status line is HTTP/1.0 200 OK

Then it will return 200, or if the status line is HTTP/1.0 401 unauthorized, then it will return 401. These method returns -1 if the response from HTTP is not valid.

import java.net.URL; 
public class JavaHttpURLConnectiongetResponseCodeExample1 {
    //Starting the main method...
    public static void main(String h[]) throws IOException 
    { 
        //starting the try block
        try {
        String link_url = "https://www.mysql.com";
        int i;
        i=10;
        URL obj1 = new URL(link_url); //URL Connection Created...
        HttpURLConnection con1 = (HttpURLConnection) obj1.openConnection(); //Http URL Connection Created...
        int r_code =con1.getResponseCode(); // it is use to get the status code from HTTP response message
        System.out.println("https://www.mysql.com");
        System.out.println("Connection Response Code : "+r_code);
        if (r_code != HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) // HTTP_OK : HTTP Status-Code 200: OK.
        {
        System.out.println("Download failed" + r_code );
        System.exit(0);
        }
          con1.disconnect();
          System.out.println("Connection Disconnect... ");
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println( e);
