Hi,
This is primarily a spec. change to the new HttpURLPermission class.
The main changes are:
1. Rename java.net.HttpURLPermission to java.net.URLPermission.
Even though the class is clearly intended for use with Http/s URLs it
isn't restricted
to those URL schemes.
2. Add some of the capabilities from SocketPermission to this class too,
namely:
- support for wildcards eg "*.foo.com"
- support for port ranges eg "4000-5000", or "5000-"
There are a couple of other minor changes, such as switching to use
the limited doPrivileged() API.
