Try This,

fun sendGet() {
        try {
            //disable the strict mode otherwise perform this operation on netWork Thread
            val policy = StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build()
            StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy)

            // GET Request
            val request = "http://www.google.com/"
            val url = URL(request)
            val conn = url.openConnection()
            conn.doOutput = true
            // Get the response
            val rd = BufferedReader(InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()))
            var line: String
            var sResult = ""
            while (rd.readLine().also { line = it } != null) {
                // Process line...
                sResult = "$sResult$line "
            }
            rd.close()
            Log.e("RESULT", sResult)
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            println("Error $e")
        }
    }
