Corrections to Chapter 8 of Java Network Programming, HTML in Swing

p. 250: At the very top of the page, change Parser.getParser() to Parser getParser(). That is, change the period to a space.

p. 252: The first paragraph; refers to the ParserGetter class from Example 8-5. However, ParserGetter is actually Example 8-6

P. 258: To make Outliner work with documents that use a meta tag such as <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">, you need to change

parser.parse(r, callback, false);

parser.parse(r, callback, true);

This tells the parser to ignore the character set header. To really make it work with other character sets, you need to detect the character set using the URLConnection class described in Chapter 15.

p. 265: Two changes should be made to Example 8-10 on this page. First you need to test if the local directory exists before trying to make it. That is, change

if (localDirectory.mkdirs()) {

to



if (localDirectory.exists() || localDirectory.mkdirs()) {



Next, to make PageSaver
 work with documents that use 
a meta tag such as <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">, you need to change


parser.parse(r, callback, false);

to

parser.parse(r, callback, true);

This tells the parser to ignore the character set header.
To really make it work with other character sets, you need to
detect the character set using the URLConnection class described in Chapter 15.
