Interfaces

• UC: URL Connection

The interface to the objects embodying active URL operations: gets, puts, etc. There's one of these objects per active connection.
• UCF: URL Connection Factory

The interface to the objects which are the sources of URL Connections. There's one of these objects per protocol: http, ftp, etc.
• IS: Input Stream

Read the input data from this.
• OS: Output Stream

Write the output data to this.
• NC: Net Context

"The context required by the netlib calls." Various callbacks that the caller must provide, for things like confirmations, prompts, etc.

Classes

• UCFR: URL Connection Factory Registry

Register UCF's here, and the general createUC method will look at the first part of the URL and switch off to the proper protocol handler.
• URL: Our idea of a URL.
