I don't like this much, but if we are to accept malformed absolute URIs
I feel strongly that we should at least report the event as a warning.
[...]
Do we have a standard mechanism for reporting warning conditions? Is
System.err.println acceptable?
We currently don't. We could use java.util.logging. But that is a but heavy-weight and not really tested in production. In this particular case I would not really want to log or give a warning since it seems such a common practise. (Maybe if we had a system property gnu.classpath.standards.mode [lenient, warn, strict] that we could check.)
OK, something to think about anyway.
I suggest the following patch to implement getErrorStream correctly:
2005-04-26 Chris Burdess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* gnu/java/net/protocol/http/HTTPURLConnection.java: Throw FileNotFoundException and implement getErrorStream on 404.
Thanks. That makes sense.
Could you commit both your patches? Or I can do it. I would like to get this in before the next snapshot release tomorrow because it breaks -link support for some people in the new gjdoc.
I committed the last one last night. I won't have any time today until this evening so if you could do the first one that would be appreciated (NB the line numbers will be off now!).
