URLConnection.disconnect() Tests

[Christopher Hegarty - Sun Microsystems Ireland]

Hi Andy,

Unfortunately we do not currently have a smtp test framework. Any mailto 
tests do not actually open a connection, they simply test the URL 
syntax. This maybe a useful addition to the test framework, but I 
suspect outside the scope of this 'Request for Enhancement'. I am 
assuming this query is in relation to CR 6313849 - "Provide API to 
close/disconnect an UrlConnection".

In this situation, for the mailto handler, I think that we can test the 
changes manually against an independent smtp server, and not provide an 
automatic testcase.

As far as ftp is concerned, our preference is to use the ftp framework 
in test/sun/net/www/ftptest.

Thank you for your interest in working on this change and we look 
forward to receiving your code submission in the near future.

Regards,
-Chris.
