          <div>Okay, given that HTTP redirects seem like a corner-case

            of a corner-case in URLClassLoader,  it seems the obvious

            choice is do not do any changes to long-standing behavior

    I agree. Remote class loading was very interesting in a world of

    distributed objects, security managers and sandboxing. I don't think

    we have data to know how widely used URLClassLoader is with

    http/https in modern applications and deployments. If something

    compelling comes up that has performance issues then they could be

    looked at then.<br>
