Hello Michael @Michael-Mc-Mahon, while at it, do you think we should also update the specification of `Authenticator.requestPasswordAuthenticationInstance(...)` method to specify that the `url` parameter to it can be null. Right now it just says:


/**
 * Ask this authenticator for a password.
 *
 * @param host The hostname of the site requesting authentication.
 * @param addr The InetAddress of the site requesting authorization,
 *             or null if not known.
 * @param port the port for the requested connection
 * @param protocol The protocol that's requesting the connection
 *          ({@link java.net.Authenticator#getRequestingProtocol()})
...
 * @param url The requesting URL that caused the authentication
... 
public PasswordAuthentication
requestPasswordAuthenticationInstance(String host,
                                      InetAddress addr,
                                      int port,
                                      String protocol,
                                      String prompt,
                                      String scheme,
                                      URL url,
                                      RequestorType reqType) {
