      connection.setConnectTimeout(30000);
      connection.setRequestProperty("User-agent", userAgent);
      connection.connect();
      InputStream is = connection.getInputStream();
      reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, charset));
      String strRead = null;
      while ((strRead = reader.readLine()) != null) {
        sbf.append(strRead);
        sbf.append("\r\n");
      }
      reader.close();
      result = sbf.toString();
