Java: Reading From A Url Produces Gibberish

So I've been trying to read the html code from kickass.to(it works fine on other sites) but all I get is some weird gibberish. My code: BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(

Solution 1:

The problem here is a server that is probably not configured correctly, as it returns its response gzip compressed, even if the client does not send an Accept-Encoding: gzip header.

So what you're seeing is the compressed version of the page. To decompress it, pass it through a GZIPInputStream:

BufferedReaderin=newBufferedReader(
    newInputStreamReader(
         newGZIPInputStream(newURL("http://kickass.to/").openStream())));
