You may find it useful to know that the degree of implementation for URL and
URLConnection is not entirely consistent between browsers - in particular
the openStream method (which in fact just wraps a call to
getConnectionOpenStream() where its actually implemented) , which (iirc)
Netscape doesn't bother with. So use
        getConnection().openStream()
to get the stream instead (if you're deploying to a browser anyway).

Hope this proves helpful,
