I don't believe the JDK and the URL class support these other protocols out-of-the-box either ;-) The RFC mentioned in the Javadocs for URL uses <path>, but I don't know what it means precisely. I checked only file: and http:, but in practical terms, it sounds to me that the behavior of this particular URL Ctor must be grounded in some standard, no? I'm no internet RFC guru ;-) --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
