How do I emulate a PHP cURL request in Java?

Question

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $file);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $urls[$vidCount]);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

So I have a cURL request that takes a URL and produces a file in the filesystem.

How do I emulate the above PHP cURL request in Java?

I have tried HttpURLConnection, but I am getting 403 Forbidden. The same call in cURL works properly. Is there some architecture difference between the two that I need to reconcile?

I believe it could be something in the headers that cURL might be setting automatically where Java is not. I'm not really sure but I would appreciate any advice I can get.

Thanks.

curl has lots of hidden features you don't see, replicating every exact query might take a few twitches and I don't think you'll find a rosetta like thing to transform, I recommend just reading the libcurl documentation in php and seeing what every option means and then see how to implement that in your java library — fd8s0

I am not sure why you trying to emulate PHP behavior in Java. If the end result is really what you need to reach, than use the Java HttpURLConnection or even URLConnection.
