FindBugs: The equals and hashCode methods of URL are blocking

The equals and hashCode methods of URL are blocking

The equals and hashCode method of URL perform domain name resolution, this can result in a big performance hit. See http://michaelscharf.blogspot.com/2006/11/javaneturlequals-and-hashcode-make.html for more information. Consider using java.net.URI instead.
