java.net.URL.getBasePath() --> time to have it?

[Michael McMahon]

Hi Bruno,

This sounds similar to what URI.resolve() provides:

For example:

new URI("http://www.foo.com/a/b/c").resolve("")

returns http://www.foo.com/a/b/

URL has a constructor which does something similar
(the URL(URL, String) one)
