/**
 * Class <code>URL</code> represents a Uniform Resource
 * Locator, a pointer to a "resource" on the World
 * Wide Web. A resource can be something as simple as a file or a
 * directory, or it can be a reference to a more complicated object,
 * such as a query to a database or to a search engine. More
 * information on the types of URLs and their formats can be found at:
 * <blockquote>
 *     <a href="http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/Mosaic/Demo/url-primer.html">
 *    <i>http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/Mosaic/Demo/url-primer.html</i></a>
 * </blockquote>
 * <p>
 * In general, a URL can be broken into several parts. The previous
 * example of a URL indicates that the protocol to use is
 * <code>http</code> (HyperText Transfer Protocol) and that the
 * information resides on a host machine named
 * <code>www.ncsa.uiuc.edu</code>. The information on that host
 * machine is named <code>/SDG/Software/Mosaic/Demo/url-primer.html</code>. The exact
 * meaning of this name on the host machine is both protocol
 * dependent and host dependent. The information normally resides in
 * a file, but it could be generated on the fly. This component of
 * the URL is called the <i>path</i> component.
 * <p>
 * A URL can optionally specify a "port", which is the
 * port number to which the TCP connection is made on the remote host
 * machine. If the port is not specified, the default port for
 * the protocol is used instead. For example, the default port for
 * <code>http</code> is <code>80</code>. An alternative port could be
 * specified as:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 *     http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu:80/SDG/Software/Mosaic/Demo/url-primer.html
 * </pre></blockquote>
 * <p>
 * The syntax of <code>URL</code> is defined by  <a
 * href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt""><i>RFC 2396: Uniform
 * Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax</i></a>, amended by <a
 * href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt"><i>RFC 2732: Format for
 * Literal IPv6 Addresses in URLs</i></a>.
 * <p>
 * A URL may have appended to it a "fragment", also known
 * as a "ref" or a "reference". The fragment is indicated by the sharp
 * sign character "#" followed by more characters. For example,
 * <blockquote><pre>
 *     http://java.sun.com/index.html#chapter1
 * </pre></blockquote>
 * <p>
 * This fragment is not technically part of the URL. Rather, it
 * indicates that after the specified resource is retrieved, the
 * application is specifically interested in that part of the
 * document that has the tag <code>chapter1</code> attached to it. The
 * meaning of a tag is resource specific.
 * <p>
 * An application can also specify a "relative URL",
 * which contains only enough information to reach the resource
 * relative to another URL. Relative URLs are frequently used within
 * HTML pages. For example, if the contents of the URL:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 *     http://java.sun.com/index.html
 * </pre></blockquote>
 * contained within it the relative URL:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 *     FAQ.html
 * </pre></blockquote>
 * it would be a shorthand for:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 *     http://java.sun.com/FAQ.html
 * </pre></blockquote>
 * <p>
 * The relative URL need not specify all the components of a URL. If
 * the protocol, host name, or port number is missing, the value is
 * inherited from the fully specified URL. The file component must be
 * specified. The optional fragment is not inherited.
