java-programmer, URL.openConnection bug in 1.6?? If a bug report I got is correct, under some conditions JDK 1.6
URL.openConnection returns null without throwing an IOException.

Mickey Segal is having it. I have not yet figured out how to get
browsers to use 1.6 to see if I can reproduce it.
He says it is fine in 1.5 and fails in two different browsers in 1.6.

I have not yet got to watch a failure personally.

From http://download.java.net/jdk6/binaries/ you can download the latest JDK
6.0 Binary Snapshot Release. They are dated Thursdays but seem to appear
sometime during the day on Fridays. I haven't fiddled to see how to use the
Windows self-extracting JRE Jar file so I just install the Windows Offline
Installation, Multi-language JDK file.

If you are filing bugs on the Sun JRE it makes most sense to file them on
the latest 1.6 version. It makes sense to file bugs on new problems in 1.6
so as to stop them before they reach your customers.
