/**
 * A connection to a URL for reading or writing. For HTTP connections, see
 * {@link HttpURLConnection} for documentation of HTTP-specific features.
 *
 * <p>For example, to retrieve {@code
 * ftp://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/index.html}: <pre>   {@code
 *   URL url = new URL("ftp://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/index.html");
 *   URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
 *   InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(urlConnection.getInputStream());
 *   try {
 *     readStream(in);
 *   } finally {
 *     in.close();
 *   }
 * }</pre>
 *
 * <p>{@code URLConnection} must be configured before it has connected to the
 * remote resource. Instances of {@code URLConnection} are not reusable: you
 * must use a different instance for each connection to a resource.
 *
 * <h3>Timeouts</h3>
 * {@code URLConnection} supports two timeouts: a {@link #setConnectTimeout
 * connect timeout} and a {@link #setReadTimeout read timeout}. By default,
 * operations never time out.
 *
 * <h3>Built-in Protocols</h3>
 * <ul>
 *   <li><strong>File</strong><br>
 *      Resources from the local file system can be loaded using {@code file:}
 *      URIs. File connections can only be used for input.
 *   <li><strong>FTP</strong><br>
 *      File Transfer Protocol (<a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc959.txt">RFC 959</a>)
 *      is supported, but with no public subclass. FTP connections can
 *      be used for input or output but not both.
 *      <p>By default, FTP connections will be made using {@code anonymous} as
 *      the username and the empty string as the password. Specify alternate
 *      usernames and passwords in the URL: {@code
 *      ftp://username:password@host/path}.
 *   <li><strong>HTTP and HTTPS</strong><br>
 *      Refer to the {@link HttpURLConnection} and {@link
 *      javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection HttpsURLConnection} subclasses.
 *   <li><strong>Jar</strong><br>
 *      Refer to the {@link JarURLConnection} subclass.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h3>Registering Additional Protocols</h3>
 * Use {@link URL#setURLStreamHandlerFactory} to register handlers for other
 * protocol types.
