Hi, The is the suggested API for one of the two new JEPs recently submitted.
This is for JEP 184: HTTP URL Permissions The idea here is to define a higher level http permission class which "knows about" URLs, HTTP request methods and headers. So, it is no longer necessary to grant blanket permission for any kind of TCP connection to a host/port. Instead a HttpURLPermission restricts access to only the Http protocol itself. Restrictions can also be imposed based on URL paths, specific request methods and request headers. The API change can be seen at the URL below: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~michaelm/8010464/api/ In addition to defining a new permission class, HttpURLConnection is modified to make use of it and the documentation change describing this can be seen at the link below: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~michaelm/8010464/api/blender.html All comments welcome. Thanks Michael.
