   public InvokeCgiMidlet1() {
      display = Display.getDisplay(this);
   }
   /**
    * Initialization. Invoked when we activate the MIDlet.
    */
   public void startApp() {
      try {
         getGrade(url);
      } catch (IOException e) {
         System.out.println("IOException " + e);
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
   }
   /**
    * Pause, discontinue ....
    */
   public void pauseApp() {
   }
   /**

   public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) {
   }
   /**
    * Retrieve a grade....
    */
   void getGrade(String url) throws IOException {
      HttpConnection c = null;
      InputStream is = null;
      OutputStream os = null;
      StringBuffer b = new StringBuffer();
      TextBox t = null;
      String response;
      try {
          c = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url, Connector.READ_WRITE);
          c.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.GET);
          c.setRequestProperty("User-Agent","Profile/MIDP-1.0 Confirguration/CLDC-1.0");
          c.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
          c.setRequestProperty("User-Agent","Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1");
          c.setRequestProperty("Accept-Charset","UTF-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7");
          c.setRequestProperty("Accept-Encoding","gzip, deflate");

          c.setRequestProperty("Content-Language", "en-EN");
          os = c.openOutputStream();
        Reader r = new InputStreamReader(c.openDataInputStream(), "UTF-8");
         int ch;
         while ((ch = r.read()) != -1) {
            b.append((char) ch );
            //System.out.println((char)ch + "->" + ch + "->" + ch);
         }
         t = new TextBox("Final Grades", b.reverse().toString(), 1024, 0);
      } finally {
         if(is!= null) {
            is.close();
         }
         if(os != null) {
            os.close();
         }
         if(c != null) {
            c.close();
         }
      }
      display.setCurrent(t);
   }
}
