Google Spell Checker

Inspired by the php blog on google spell checker, Here is my Groovy version:

def spellchecker(String word){

def path = "/tbproxy/spell?lang=en&hl=en";
def urlString = "https://www.google.com"+path
def url = new URL(urlString)
def connection = url.openConnection()
connection.setRequestMethod("POST")
connection.doOutput = true
def post ='<spellrequest textalreadyclipped="0" ignoredups="1" ignoredigits="1" ignoreallcaps="0"><text>'+word+'</text></spellrequest>'
def writer = new OutputStreamWriter(connection.outputStream)
writer.write(post)
writer.flush()
writer.close()
connection.connect()
println "The query:"+word
println "The response:\n"+connection.content.text
}

def x="""
The suggestions are tab-delineated. The .o. attribute is an offset from the start of your query to the misspelled word. .l. is the length of the misspelled w
ord. .s. is the confidence of Google.s suggestion (presumably higher is better, but I.ve only gotten 0 or 1).
"""
println x
spellchecker("love is patient")
spellchecker("weee nottt sxdsasd")
spellchecker("xxx")
spellchecker("toatlygrbg")

The following is the printout:

The query:love is patient
The response:

The query:weee nottt sxdsasd
The response:
weer wee were whee weednot knotty Natty Netty nattysadsasd
The query:xxx
The response:

The query:toatlygrbg
The response:
