HttpURLConnection can only redirect to http: URL's

When HttpURLConnection gets a "Location:" header it redirects
to that URL. That URL must be another http: connection.
Any other URL (e.g. file:/tmp) will fail with a "file not found"
error template in HotJava. The redirection is done for HotJava
down in HttpURLConnection; it never actually knows that a redirect
has occured.

Redirecting to a non-http URL works in Netscape.

This is reproducible with hotjava1.0m and JDK1.1.1E (fcs).

Attached is a CGI script which does a simple redirection via:

Location: file:/tmp

It works in Netscape; fails with 'file not found' error in HotJava.
