If you need to set proxy address on Java HttpURLConnection. Do something like below. public static String getString(String urlStr) throws Exception { HttpURLConnection connection = null; InputStream is = null; try { URI uri = new URI(urlStr); // settin proxy String proxyHost = ""; // your proxy serever address int proxyPort = 8080; // your proxy port Proxy proxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress(proxyHost, proxyPort)); // open connection with passing Proxy Object connection = (HttpURLConnection)uri.toURL().openConnection(proxy); connection.connect(); is = connection.getInputStream(); String content = toString(is); return content; } finally{ closeQuietly(is); if(connection != null) { connection.disconnect(); } } } private static String toString(InputStream is) throws IOException { byt

The proper (but a bit heavy) implementation approach is using Tidy . It can validate entire html and also fix and clean up html source! However in my case using tidy is a bit overkill solution. Instead of using tidy, I decided to use strip_tags function. The disadvantage is that the function does not validate html syntax. e.g. inaccurate than using tidy.- "strip_tags function does not actually validate the html, partial or broken tags can result in the removal of more text/data than expected." as the official PHP document says. Okie, as long as we understand the disadvantage, we can use this function. Let's show you the code. function validateOnlyAllowedTags($html, $tags) { $stripped = strip_tags($html, $tags); // if no tags are stripped, the length of html contents
