Usually oXygen has specific fixed URL stream handlers for http and https protocols. This URL stream handler plugin extension provides the possibility to impose custom stream handlers for specific URLs.

If the plugin decides that it could handle connections for a particular protocol (canHandleProtocol(String)), it will be asked to provide the handler for each opened connection of an URL having that protocol(getURLStreamHandler(URL)).

This extension can be useful in situations when opened connections from a specific host must be handled in a particular way.
For example, the Oxygen HTTP URLStreamHandler may not be compatible for sending and receiving SOAP using the SUN Webservices implementation. In this case you can override the stream handler set by Oxygen for HTTP to use the default SUN URLStreamHandler which is more compatible with sending and receiving SOAP requests.

This extension can handle the following protocols: http, https, ftp or sftp.

If it is necessary to impose the application stream URL handlers for protocols different than the one handled by the application, the URLStreamHandlerPluginExtension can be used.
