When I do a URLConnection.connect() and the URL
has the format
"ftp://userid:###@###.###" I get a
"class java.net.UnknownHostException" exception.
It seems that connect() treats the "userid" as
if it were the domain name. Your book,
"The Java Class Libraries: An Annotated Reference"
on page 1430 states that it supports RFC 1738,
which specifies this syntax.
