[Bug classpath/25141] New: java.net.URL(URL context, String spec) constructor does not pass-through java.net.URLStreamHandler impl from context

[berrange at redhat dot com]

If one creates a base URL with a custom java.net.URLStreamHandler, eg

  URL base = new URL("acme",
                     "www.redhat.com",
                     80,
                     "/docs/",
                     new ACMEHandler());

And, then create a second URL, using this original as the base context:

  URL other = new URL(base, "manuals/enterprise/");

Then, the java.net.URL impl in ClassPath will throw

  java.net.MalformedURLException: Protocol handler not found: acme

In the Sun / IBM  JVMs, however, the 'ACMEHandler' object from the 'base' URL
will be passed through to the 'other' URL object, and no exception is thrown.
