XML : XML URL with params in Android XMLPullParser File Not Found Exception

I have a URI in the format:

  https://<APIAuthKey>:@domain.com/file.xml?q[]=Query&version=eng    

When I use this URL in the browser, it returns an XML file. But on the Android Studio Console, it throws a java.io.FileNotFoundException.

    URL uri = new URL(args[0]);    HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) uri.openConnection();    conn.setDoInput(true);    conn.connect();    InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();    

The Code stops execution at conn.connect(); Does anyone know what is going on? Thanks!
