I have a large file that I am reading in from a url.
It is simply a log file, so there is no formatting, but it is very large, so one the url has loaded I cannot then print it to another file.

I have used htmlunit htmlpage to read it in from web client, but I do not now know what to do to write it out - I am getting an out of memory error Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
.

I have increased the memory to 1024m,and don't think I should go further - I simply need to learn thew coding solution to this.

Can someone advise?

Thanks!
