java.net.URLConnection.getContent() incorrectly specifies the default location of content handler classes as sun.net.www.content. ( this location is implementation specific )
"If no content handler factory has yet been set up, or if the factory's createContentHandler method
returns null, then the application loads the class named:
sun.net.www.content.<contentType> "
This should be changed to something like:
<system default package>.<contentType>, similar to what is done in URL [1]
