Re: [HttpClient] REPOST: Handlers for HttpClient?

[Evert Hoff <ev...@pixie.co.za>]

Hi Matt,

That would probably mean that we would need to create implementations
for java.net.URL, java.net.HttpURLConnection and maybe also for
java.net.URLConnection. URL is a final class, so I don't know how it
would be possible to get it to return something different with
URL.openConnection().

Do you think it would be possible?

To control what URL returns from url.openConnection, you can
either install a URLStreamHandlerFactory using the method
URL.setURLStreamHandlerFactory(URLStreamHandlerFactory fac),
see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/net/URL.html,
or (less drastically) control the behavior of the default
URLStreamHandlerFactory implementation: define your handlers
with a particular naming convention and list their packages
in the system property java.protocol.handler.pkgs. See this:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/protocolhandlers/
for enough details to work with.

Both approaches unfortunately require tweaking the global
configuration of the JVM, which may be annoying to those
working in servlet/J2EE environments, but that's a problem
you're always stuck with when using the URLConnection
scheme -- it can only be configured globally in the JVM.

Hope that helps,
