java version "1.4.0-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta-b65)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-beta-b65, mixed mode)

JDK 1.3 returns a FileNotFoundException when an HTTP
return code between 400 and 599 is returned.

Now, JDK 1.4.0 Beta returns an IOException under the same
circumstances.

This is an externally visible behavioral change.

True, FileNotFoundException is a subclass of IOException, but our code was/is
specifically checking for both of them separately: first catch the
FileNotFoundException, then catch the more generic IOException.

It probably should be.
