[Bug classpath/22813] Classloaders should return valid URLs from getResource for directories

[gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org]

To be consistent with Sun JDK 1.4.2, the standard classloaders (e.g.
java.net.URLClassLoader and the system classloader) should return a valid URL
for directories, as well as files, from calls to getResource(). IBM's icu4j
project assumes this behaviour.

Attached is a patch to a relevant Mauve test case, which I have already to
submitted to the Mauve project.

The URLClassLoader should now exhibit this behaviour. file: URLs representing
directories return a list of the names of files in the directory, in the
platform encoding, separated by the platform line separator. The Content-Length
of the response is the number of bytes in this response, rather than the "size"
of the directory.
