One comment on the "Security permissions" section of HttpURLConnection 
is that it "caller must have permission" isn't clear. I think it is 
trying to say that calling any method defined by this class that results 
in an attempt to establish a connection will require at least one of the 
permissions listed.

Does exiting HTTP protocol handlers (meaning those that aren't included 
in the JDK) require any consideration?
