Roland,
> different causes and may need different handling
Of you course you can handle it different also when in the IOException
hierarchy, if you
want and can handle it at all.
It is common practice in the Java API to have any I/O related exception under
IOException,
examples: java.net.MalformedURLException, java.io.ObjectStreamException,
java.util.ZipException.
These have nothing to do with any low-level I/O problems as you mentioned.
Adding additional hierarchies must be avoided, because it leads to a "rethrow
pollution"
of the application code.
cheers,

> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.0 Alpha 2
> Reporter: Jens Wike
>
> The description of IOException reads:
> * Signals that an I/O exception of some sort has occurred. This
> * class is the general class of exceptions produced by failed or
> * interrupted I/O operations.
> This means HttpException and its subclasses _is_ an I/O Exception
> by the definition above. There is no need to have a separate Exception
> hierarchy.
