Summary:  java.net.URL.getURLStreamHandler uses wrong classloader

Original Submission:  The java.net.URL.getURLStreamHandler method tries to loan 
a potentially application-defined class using Class.forName(clsName). This will 
fail unless the specified class can be loaded by the bootstrap loader.

The correct behaviour would be to use the context class loader to load the 
class. At a minimum the system/application class loader must be used.
