Closing URLConnection and InputStream correctly?
<p>I've seen many different examples of using HttpURLConnection + InputStream, and closing them (or not closing them) after use. This is what I came up with to make sure everything is closed after finished, whether there's an error or not. Is this valid?:</p>

<pre><code>HttpURLConnection conn = null;
InputStream is = null;
try {
    URL url = new URL("http://example.com");

    // (set connection and read timeouts on the connection)
    conn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();

    is = new BufferedInputStream(conn.getInputStream());

    doSomethingWithInputStream(is);

} catch (Exception ex) {
} finally {
    if (is != null) {
        try {
            is.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
        }
    }
    if (conn != null) {
        conn.disconnect();
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>Thanks</p>
