/**
 * This class models a connection that retrieves the information pointed
 * to by a URL object.  This is typically a connection to a remote node
 * on the network, but could be a simple disk read.
 * <p>
 * A URLConnection object is normally created by calling the openConnection()
 * method of a URL object.  This method is somewhat misnamed because it does
 * not actually open the connection.  Instead, it return an unconnected
 * instance of this object.  The caller then has the opportunity to set
 * various connection options prior to calling the actual connect() method.
 * <p>
 * After the connection has been opened, there are a number of methods in
 * this class that access various attributes of the data, typically
 * represented by headers sent in advance of the actual data itself.
 * <p>
 * Also of note are the getInputStream and getContent() methods which allow
 * the caller to retrieve the actual data from the connection.  Note that
 * for some types of connections, writing is also allowed.  The setDoOutput()
 * method must be called prior to connecing in order to enable this, then
 * the getOutputStream method called after the connection in order to
 * obtain a stream to write the output to.
 * <p>
 * The getContent() method is of particular note.  This method returns an
 * Object that encapsulates the data returned.  There is no way do determine
 * the type of object that will be returned in advance.  This is determined
 * by the actual content handlers as described in the description of that
 * method.
