>
> Despite the addition of a libcurl-based NetAccessor, which can handle https:// URLs, the XMLURL class prevents it from getting a chance to run when parsing because it hardcodes the allowable protocols.
> This seems like a design flaw. If URL parsing really requires hardcoding specific protocols and ports, it should be a "known" protocol list, not a list that automatically blocks unknown protocols. If that isn't possible, then https should be added at a minimum.
> It's not the XMLURL class' job to know what a NetAccessor can handle. If some kind of capability API is needed, then it should be added to the NetAccessor interface so the XMLURL class can ask it whether a given protocol will work.
