In the JDK releases prior to 1.2 method setURL(URL u, String protocol,
String host, int port, String file, String ref) was indeed able to
change the protocol value of a given URL. Since JDK 1.2 this method
just ignores the protocol value, leaving URL protocol as it was.
I understand the reasons behind this change of behaviour, since
URLStreamHandler should work with one particular type of protocol
only. However, specs need to reflect this.
