custom protocol : internet/open source :: oil : water
I am puzzled ... I don't know what your application is, but help me
understand what are the benefits of using a custom protocol.

Maybe. But it probably won't make any measurable difference. You are
already network bandwidth limited and file parsing is already incredibly
inefficient.

This seems to me to be a bigger problem than simply allowing additional
string prefixes.
Q: Can the Java class library deal with this custom protocol?
Q: Where is the driver code?
