This is a piece of code to get the body text of an HTML page.
local httpURLConnection = luajava.cast(urlConnection, luajava.bindClass("java.net.HttpURLConnection")) - there is no such method(luajava.cast) in luaj. We need to find a way to bring urlConnection to class "HttpURLConnection". Is there any way to resolve this expression in luaj?
