The method setURL(URL, String, String, int, String, String, String, String, String)
of URLStreamHandler does not allow to change the protocol name.
Its source:


    protected void setURL(URL u, String protocol, String host, int port,
String authority, String userInfo, String path,
                             String query, String ref) {
if (this != u.handler) {
throw new SecurityException("handler for url different from " +
"this handler");
}
// ensure that no one can reset the protocol on a given URL.
        u.set(u.getProtocol(), host, port, authority, userInfo, path, query, ref);
    }

But doc for both URLStreamHandler and URL is silent about this feature.
