RFR: 8029354: URLPermission.<init> throws llegalArgumentException: Invalid characters in hostname

[Weijun Wang]

Hi Michael

  492         boolean implies(Authority other) {
  493             return userinfo.equals(other.userinfo) &&
  494                    impliesHostrange(other) && impliesPortrange(other);
  495         }

This means http://example.com does not imply http://someone@example.com. 
Is this intended?

Also,

   68  * <i>userinfo</i> is optional and has no special significance in 
this class.

It seems that field has some significance.

Thanks
Max
