I think URLProtocol was declared 'deprecated' about a year ago [during the
'big bump' period]
it did receive some changes since then including improvements to options
and to interrupts, which is nice.
yet from what I see the protocols are pretty stable and not much work going
on there.
perhaps it makes sense to just rename URLProtocol to AVProtocol?
