Hi, here a small fix for 2 older issues. First i wrote the test for wrong URL at connection time and at redirect time.
Bug(s): http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6563286 http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=5069130 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~arieber/6563286/webrev.00/ What happens is that the java.net.ProxySelector.select(URI uri) is called, which throws the IllegalArgumentException if uri is null. But it uses sun.net.spi.DefaultProxySelector.java and also throws the exception if uri.getScheme() is null or uri.getHost() is null. I updated the javadoc in ProxySelector. To change the exception to an IOException would mean a wider refactoring and API change, not good. So i checked down to net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.java. There the IllegalArgumentException can be caught and thrown as IOException. This will handle wrong URLs in both cases (connect and redirect). I checked also all other possible cases but they are handled with correct exceptions. I run all tests on ubuntu, so a test run on all relevant platforms is required. thanks for checking this one Andreas
