/**
 * This class is the superclass of all URL protocol handlers.  The URL
 * class loads the appropriate protocol handler to establish a connection
 * to a (possibly) remote service (eg, "http", "ftp") and to do protocol
 * specific parsing of URL's.  Refer to the URL class documentation for
 * details on how that class locates and loads protocol handlers.
 * <p>
 * A protocol handler implementation should override the openConnection()
 * method, and optionally override the parseURL() and toExternalForm()
 * methods if necessary. (The default implementations will parse/write all
 * URL's in the same form as http URL's).  A protocol  specific subclass
 * of URLConnection will most likely need to be created as well.
 * <p>
 * Note that the instance methods in this class are called as if they
 * were static methods.  That is, a URL object to act on is passed with
 * every call rather than the caller assuming the URL is stored in an
 * instance variable of the "this" object.
 * <p>
 * The methods in this class are protected and accessible only to subclasses.
 * URLStreamConnection objects are intended for use by the URL class only,
 * not by other classes (unless those classes are implementing protocols).
