Administer URL resources

 

Overview

URL providers support URL protocols that are not supported by the Java Developer Kit (JDK). A URL provider consists of two classes that extend java.net.URLStreamHandler and java.net.URLConnection. A default URL provider is included in the initial product configuration. This provider utilizes the URL support provided by the JDK. Any URL resource with protocols based on Java 2 Standard Edition 1.3.1, such as HTTP or FTP, can use the default URL provider.
