A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
Currently the way to have cookie support is to use CookieHandler.setDefault(). But this is system-wide.
JUSTIFICATION :
If I'm coding a library which needs to use HTTP with cookies for a simple thing... I shouldn't be needing to disrupt the application-wide cookie handler!
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
There could be a new method in HttpURLConnection called "setCookieHandler", which would set the cookie handler for use by that connection.
