Description copied from class: java.net.URLStreamHandler

Opens a connection to the object referenced by the URL argument. This method should be overridden by a subclass.

If for the handler's protocol (such as HTTP or JAR), there exists a public, specialized URLConnection subclass belonging to one of the following packages or one of their subpackages: java.lang, java.io, java.util, java.net, the connection returned will be of that subclass. For example, for HTTP an HttpURLConnection will be returned, and for JAR a JarURLConnection will be returned.

Parameters:

url - the URL that this connects to.

Returns:

a URLConnection object for the URL.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs while opening the connection.
