/**
 * Class {@code URL} 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:
 * <a href=
 * "http://web.archive.org/web/20051219043731/http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/Mosaic/Demo/url-primer.html">
 * <i>Types of URL</i></a>
 * <p>
 * In general, a URL can be broken into several parts. Consider the
 * following example:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 *     http://www.example.com/docs/resource1.html
 * </pre></blockquote>
 * <p>
 * The URL above indicates that the protocol to use is
 * {@code http} (HyperText Transfer Protocol) and that the
 * information resides on a host machine named
 * {@code www.example.com}. The information on that host
 * machine is named {@code /docs/resource1.html}. 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} is {@code 80}. An alternative port could be
 * specified as:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 *     http://www.example.com:1080/docs/resource1.html
 * </pre></blockquote>
 * <p>
 * The syntax of {@code URL} is defined by  <a
 * href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt"><i>RFC&nbsp;2396: Uniform
 * Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax</i></a>, amended by <a
 * href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt"><i>RFC&nbsp;2732: Format for
 * Literal IPv6 Addresses in URLs</i></a>. The Literal IPv6 address format
 * also supports scope_ids. The syntax and usage of scope_ids is described
 * <a href="Inet6Address.html#scoped">here</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://www.example.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} 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://www.example.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://www.example.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.
 *
 * <h2><a id="constructor-deprecation"></a>Constructing instances of {@code URL}</h2>
 *
 * The {@code java.net.URL} constructors are deprecated.
 * Developers are encouraged to use {@link URI java.net.URI} to parse
 * or construct a {@code URL}. In cases where an instance of {@code
 * java.net.URL} is needed to open a connection, {@link URI} can be used
 * to construct or parse the URL string, possibly calling {@link
 * URI#parseServerAuthority()} to validate that the authority component
 * can be parsed as a server-based authority, and then calling
 * {@link URI#toURL()} to create the {@code URL} instance.
 * <p>
 * The URL constructors are specified to throw
 * {@link MalformedURLException} but the actual parsing/validation
 * that is performed is implementation dependent. Some parsing/validation
 * may be delayed until later, when the underlying {@linkplain
 * URLStreamHandler stream handler's implementation} is called.
 * Being able to construct an instance of {@code URL} doesn't
 * provide any guarantee about its conformance to the URL
 * syntax specification.
 * <p>
 * The URL class does not itself encode or decode any URL components
 * according to the escaping mechanism defined in RFC2396. It is the
 * responsibility of the caller to encode any fields, which need to be
 * escaped prior to calling URL, and also to decode any escaped fields,
 * that are returned from URL. Furthermore, because URL has no knowledge
 * of URL escaping, it does not recognise equivalence between the encoded
 * or decoded form of the same URL. For example, the two URLs:<br>
 * <pre>    http://foo.com/hello world/ and http://foo.com/hello%20world</pre>
 * would be considered not equal to each other.
 * <p>
 * Note, the {@link java.net.URI} class does perform escaping of its
 * component fields in certain circumstances. The recommended way
 * to manage the encoding and decoding of URLs is to use {@link java.net.URI},
 * and to convert between these two classes using {@link #toURI()} and
 * {@link URI#toURL()}.
 * <p>
 * The {@link URLEncoder} and {@link URLDecoder} classes can also be
 * used, but only for HTML form encoding, which is not the same
 * as the encoding scheme defined in RFC2396.
 *
 * @apiNote
 *
 * <a id="integrity"></a>
 * Applications working with file paths and file URIs should take great
 * care to use the appropriate methods to convert between the two.
 * The {@link Path#of(URI)} factory method and the {@link File#File(URI)}
 * constructor can be used to create {@link Path} or {@link File}
 * objects from a file URI. {@link Path#toUri()} and {@link File#toURI()}
 * can be used to create a {@link URI} from a file path, which can be
 * converted to URL using {@link URI#toURL()}.
 * Applications should never try to {@linkplain #URL(String, String, String)
 * construct} or {@linkplain #URL(String) parse} a {@code URL}
 * from the direct string representation of a {@code File} or {@code Path}
 * instance.
 * <p>
 * Before constructing a {@code URL} from a {@code URI}, and depending
 * on the protocol involved, applications should consider validating
 * whether the URI authority {@linkplain URI#parseServerAuthority()
 * can be parsed as server-based}.
 * <p>
 * Some components of a URL or URI, such as <i>userinfo</i>, may
 * be abused to construct misleading URLs or URIs. Applications
 * that deal with URLs or URIs should take into account
 * the recommendations advised in <a
 * href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-7">RFC3986,
 * Section 7, Security Considerations</a>.
 * <p>
 * All {@code URL} constructors may throw {@link MalformedURLException}.
 * In particular, if the underlying {@link URLStreamHandler}
 * implementation rejects, or is known to reject, any of the parameters,
 * {@link MalformedURLException} may be thrown.
 * Typically, a constructor that calls the stream handler's {@linkplain
 * URLStreamHandler#parseURL(URL, String, int, int) parseURL method} may
 * throw {@code MalformedURLException} if the underlying stream handler
 * implementation of that method throws {@code IllegalArgumentException}.
 * However, which checks are performed, or not, by the stream handlers
 * is implementation dependent, and callers should not rely on such
 * checks for full URL validation.

     * If this is the first URL object being created with the specified

     * <ol>
     * <li>If the application has previously set up an instance of
     *     {@code URLStreamHandlerFactory} as the stream handler factory,
     *     then the {@code createURLStreamHandler} method of that instance
     *     is called with the protocol string as an argument to create the
     *     stream protocol handler.
     * <li>If no {@code URLStreamHandlerFactory} has yet been set up,
     *     or if the factory's {@code createURLStreamHandler} method
     *     returns {@code null}, then the {@linkplain java.util.ServiceLoader

     *     java.net.spi.URLStreamHandlerProvider URLStreamHandlerProvider}
     *     implementations using the system class
     *     loader. The order that providers are located is implementation
     *     specific, and an implementation is free to cache the located
     *     providers. A {@linkplain java.util.ServiceConfigurationError
     *     ServiceConfigurationError}, {@code Error} or {@code RuntimeException}
     *     thrown from the {@code createURLStreamHandler}, if encountered, will
     *     be propagated to the calling thread. The {@code
     *     createURLStreamHandler} method of each provider, if instantiated, is
     *     invoked, with the protocol string, until a provider returns non-null,
     *     or all providers have been exhausted.
     * <li>If the previous step fails to find a protocol handler, the

     *         java.protocol.handler.pkgs
     *     }</blockquote>
     *     If the value of that system property is not {@code null},
     *     it is interpreted as a list of packages separated by a vertical
     *     slash character '{@code |}'. The constructor tries to load
     *     the class named:
     *     <blockquote>{@code
     *         <package>.<protocol>.Handler
     *     }</blockquote>
     *     where {@code <package>} is replaced by the name of the package
     *     and {@code <protocol>} is replaced by the name of the protocol.
     *     If this class does not exist, or if the class exists but it is not
     *     a subclass of {@code URLStreamHandler}, then the next package
     *     in the list is tried.
     * <li>If the previous step fails to find a protocol handler, then the
     *     constructor tries to load a built-in protocol handler.
     *     If this class does not exist, or if the class exists but it is not a
     *     subclass of {@code URLStreamHandler}, then a
     *     {@code MalformedURLException} is thrown.
