writing any content handler, which use a class that extends URLConnection and uses a FileNameMap.
The previous API (upto jdk1.1.5) states a public static FileNameMap fileNameMap,
The new API (jdk1.1.6) state no such variable, but the use of a "new" method, public void setFileNameMap(FileNameMap fnm).
Not only is this not documented, but provides zero compatability between the different compilers and virtual machines.

    implements FileNameMap {

  protected ExtendURLConnection(URL url)

    setFileNameMap(this); /*now have to use this*/
  }

  public String getContentTypeFor(String filename) {
    return "unknown";
