How would I unit test URLConnection functionality

I posted question here about sending request via SMS API.

But I want to unit test here using JUnit? How do I go about this effectively? I am very new to JUnit and completely clueless.

Any help in getting me started will be thoroughly appreciated

Some examples of mocking HttpURLConnection with Mockito:

https://gist.github.com/leviwilson/3623053 Issues with Mocking HttpURLConnection using Mockito

Remember that for unit testing, you want to mock anything that goes over the network, makes a database call, etc.

If you had no internet access at all, the tests should still work.

Also don't worry about unit testing third-party libraries. If you want to test a message actually going out over HTTP, then you want to do integration testing.

Use a mock.

Mockito is a good mock library.
