public class URLParser
extends java.lang.Object

This class enables URL parsing for non-registered protocols. By default, many Java implementations would throw exception if one tries to run the following code:
URL url = new URL("https://www.jscape.com/"); In order to use the above code, a protocol handler must be installed for protocol 'https'. This is a procedure that is normally not allowed to client applet or application due to security restrictions.
Hence, this class provides the code necessary to parse the common URL representations regardless of the protocols installed on client computer. It is primarity oriented towards http-like URL's.
