See > > http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/net/URI.html Thanks! 1.3 is currently my target JDK (and will be for a while if I shift to a Mac for development), but this is interesting. I'm especially curious how the equals() method works: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/net/URI.html#equals(java.lang.Object) ----------------- For two URIs to be considered equal requires that either both are opaque or both are hierarchical. Their schemes must either both be undefined or else be equal without regard to case, and similarly for their fragments. For two opaque URIs to be considered equal, their scheme-specific parts must be equal. For two hierarchical URIs to be considered equal, their paths must be equal and their queries must either both be undefined or else be equal. Their authorities must either both be undefined, or both be registry-based, or both be server-based. If their authorities are defined and are registry-based, then they must be equal. If their authorities are defined and are server-based, then their hosts must be equal without regard to case, their port numbers must be equal, and their user-information components must be equal. ------------------- In particular, I'm curious whether fragments are case-insensitive, and some schemes (like HTTP) regard case as insignificant in the domain name.
