How to check if a URL exists or returns 404 using Groovy Script?

I need to check if a URL exists or returns 404 using Groovy Script. Is there any groovy api available for the same ? The corresponding java methods doesn't work with Groovy.

You can just do:

def code = new URL('http://www.google.com/made.up').openConnection().with {
    requestMethod = 'HEAD'
    connect()
    responseCode
}

assert code == 404

Of course, if the domain doesn't exist, an Exception will be thrown

I am getting the folllowing error for the above code. JBO-25152: Calling the constructor for class java.net.URL is not permitted.

so is this in Jenkins, or some kind of container?
