[Bug classpath/23468] New: java.net.URI throws URISyntaxException given a URL

[chris at hubick dot com]

If you try to create a java.net.URI passing a URL string such as
"http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/"; to the constructor, it will throw a
URISyntaxException:

java.net.URISyntaxException: doesn't match URI regular expression:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/
   at java.net.URI.parseURI(java.lang.String) (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.6.0.0)
   at java.net.URI.URI(java.lang.String) (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.6.0.0)

It is my understanding that all URL's should be valid URI's.  That URL is an
example of a valid hierarchical URI taken right from Sun's java.net.URI online
documentation.  Also, this worked using Sun's JVM/classes.

I am using Java tools from updated Fedora Core 4 with JPackage:
java --version
java version "1.4.2"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5)
