                              + "/services/Soap/c/32.0");
 
                  try {

      LOGGER.info("Session id" +connection.getSessionHeader().getSessionId());
      String sUrl="https://na.my.salesforce.com/secur/frontdoor.jsp?sid="+connection.getSessionHeader().getSessionId()+"&retURL=/knowledge/articlePrintableView.apexp?id=kA0f00000000JgZ";
      HttpClient httpclient = new HttpClient();
      GetMethod get = null;try{
      get = new GetMethod(sUrl);
      get.addRequestHeader("Content-Type" , "plain/text");
      httpclient.executeMethod(get);
                    
      LOGGER.info("Response code"+get.getStatusCode());

    }
    }catch(Exception e){
      e.printStackTrace();
      }
      LOGGER.info("oupu"+get.getResponseBodyAsStream());
Here is the response we get when it is printed out on console.
