Constructor & Destructor Documentation

acdk::net::URL::URL IN(RString)  protocol,
IN(RString)  host,
IN(RString)  file
[inline]
 

Constructs a URL and loads a protocol handler for the values passed in as arugments.

Uses the default port for the protocol.

Parameters:
protocol The protocol for this URL (", ", etc)
host The hostname or IP address for this URL
file The " portion of this URL.
Exceptions:
MalformedURLException If a protocol handler cannot be loaded

acdk::net::URL::URL IN(RString)  protocol,
IN(RString)  host,
int  port,
IN(RString)  file,
IN(RString)  user = Nil,
IN(RString)  pass = Nil,
IN(RURLStreamHandler)  ph = Nil
[inline]
 

This method initializes a new instance of URL with the specified protocol, host, port, and file.

Additionally, this method allows the caller to specify a protocol handler to use instead of the default. If this handler is specified, the caller must have the " permission (see NetPermission) or a SecurityException will be thrown.

Parameters:
protocol The protocol for this URL (", ", etc)
host The hostname or IP address to connect to
port The port number to use, or -1 to use the protocol's default port
file The " portion of the URL.
ph The protocol handler to use with this URL.
Exceptions:
MalformedURLException If no protocol handler can be loaded for the specified protocol.
SecurityException If the SecurityManager exists and does not allow the caller to specify its own protocol handler.

acdk::net::URL::URL IN(RURL)  context,
IN(RString)  url,
IN(RURLStreamHandler)  ph = Nil
[inline]
 

This method parses a String representation of a URL within the context of an existing URL.

Principally this means that any fields not present the URL are inheritied from the context URL. This allows relative URL's to be easily constructed (***true?***). If the context argument is null, then a complete URL must be specified in the URL string. If the protocol parsed out of the URL is different from the context URL's protocol, then then URL String is also expected to be a complete URL.

Additionally, this method allows the caller to specify a protocol handler to use instead of the default. If this handler is specified, the caller must have the " permission (see NetPermission) or a SecurityException will be thrown.

Parameters:
context The context URL
url A String representing this URL
ph The protocol handler for this URL
Exceptions:
MalformedURLException If a protocol handler cannot be found or the URL cannot be parsed
SecurityException If the SecurityManager exists and does not allow the caller to specify its own protocol handler.

acdk::net::URL::URL IN(RString)  url  )  [inline]
 

Initializes a URL from a complete string specification such as ".

First the protocol name is parsed out of the string. Then a handler is located for that protocol and the parseURL() method of that protocol handler is used to parse the remaining fields.

Parameters:
url The complete String representation of a URL
Exceptions:
MalformedURLException If a protocol handler cannot be found or the URL cannot be parsed
