Code below illustrates that IOException message from
URLConnection.coonect lacks mentioning that this is IOException
namely java.net.ConnectException is mentioned instead). This can
mislead application developer and make problems investigation more
difficult.
=================== Test.java ======================
import java.net.*;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Test {

    public static void main(String argv[]) {
        URLConnection urlc = null;

        try {
            urlc = new URL("https://foo.com").openConnection();
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
            System.out.println("Unexpected: " + ioe);
        }

        try {
            urlc.connect();
        } catch(SecurityException se) {
            System.out.println("SecurityException thrown: " + se);
        } catch(java.io.IOException ioe) {
            // the problem is here
            System.out.println("IOException thrown: " + ioe);
        }
    }
}
