The spec of HttpsURLConnection(URLáurl) states:

Throws: IOException - if the connection can't be established

However, this constructor does not throw IOException for null
argument. Test code below illustrates this bug.
=================== Test24.java =========================
import javax.net.ssl.*;
import java.security.cert.Certificate;
import java.net.URL;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Test24 {

    public static void main(String argv[]) {
        Test24 test = new Test24();
        test.go();
    }

    public void go() {
        try {
            HttpsURLConnection c = (HttpsURLConnection) new MyHttpsURLConnection((URL) null);
            System.out.println("Error: expected exception not thrown");
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
            System.out.println("Passed");
        } catch (NullPointerException npe) {
            System.out.println("Error: unspecified NPE thrown: " + npe);
        }
    }


class MyHttpsURLConnection extends HttpsURLConnection {
    public MyHttpsURLConnection(URL url) throws IOException {
        super(url);
    }

    public String getCipherSuite() {
        return new String("");
    }

    public Certificate[] getLocalCertificates() {
        return null;
    }

    public Certificate[] getServerCertificates() {
        return null;
    }

    public boolean usingProxy() {
        return false;
    }

    public void connect() {
    }

    public void disconnect() {
    }
}
}
