Crawling itunes.apple.com

I am trying to crawl the apple itunes websi开发者_如何学JAVAte. I am getting output in binary format. For example

Can anybody please tell me what i am missing?

You're getting binary back because the page you cited isn't returning HTML/XML, it's returning an Apple WebObject. From wget:

See the good old Wikipedia for more info, but if you want to crawl it, you may need to use something that simulates a browser and thus can interpret it - maybe watir would work.
