Summary:  URLConnection doesn't support explicit mime parameters

Original Submission:  Here's a quick patch for URLConnection to handle explicit 
media type parameters [1].  It currently only modifies the classname requested 
for the Class.forName, and does not support having individual content handlers 
for all of the various media types, but it lets this fetch URL.getContent() on 
my apache instance.  (almost - we needed a handler for text/html - see attached 
"html.txt")

The sun (1.4.2_04) impl has the URLConnection.getContentType()  return [2] the 
full content type (including charset parameter), so this is compatible with 
their behavior (demonstrated by using the jre, not from the source).

My environment doesn't have the classpath prerequisites (autoconf, automake, 
etc) so I haven't tested this, though I did make this patch originally for 
kaffe, tested it there, and have been running it for over a week with no 
problems.  I havent submitted to classpath before, so if there's something
missing, please let me know.

[2] "Type: [text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1]" from:

   import java.net.*;

   public class testType {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
     try {
      URL url = new URL("http://localhost/";);
      URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
      con.connect();
      Object o = con.getContent();
      String type = con.getContentType();
      System.out.println("Type: [" + type + "]");
     } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
     }
    }
   }
