New to Java

Hi,

I have just written a program which translates a word from French to English using the Altavista Babelfish translation website http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr

I stole the essential piece of code from the web which sends the text to translate -

babelFishURL = new URL("http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr"
+ "?doit=done&intl=1&tt=urltext&urltext=" + frenchWord
				+ "&lp=FR_EN");

babelFishConnection = babelFishURL.openConnection();

next I read the translation with -

babelFishConnection.getInputStream()

It which works but I don?t understand how I could have derived the URL string. Is there a way to capture the string sent when I click the translate button? Is there a better way?
