Any of the streams or readers/writers can be used to read or write to a socket. Class socket has two methods getInputStream() and getOutputStream() which return a basic stream which may be either used direct or embelished. For example:

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
/**
 Show a specified page from the javaranch web server.
*/
class Wget
{
  public static void main(String args[])
  {
    String file = args.length> 0 ? args[0] : "/";
    try
    {
      Socket socket = new Socket("www.javaranch.com", 80);
      OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream());
      InputStream in = socket.getInputStream();
    
      out.write("GET " + file + " HTTP/1.0\n\n");
      out.flush();
      for(int c = in.read(); c != -1; c = in.read())
      {
        System.out.print((char)c);
      }
    }
    catch(IOException e)
    {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}
