public class Handler
extends URLStreamHandler

A URLStreamHandler to handle the "tcp:" protocol.

This class provides the necessary handler information to the JVM so that it can recognize the "tcp://[HOST]:PORT/OPTIONS" URL which the URLConnection class supports.

This class simply implements the openConnection method such that it will return a new TCP URL object.

In order for this type of URL to be recognized, the string "com.ccg.net" must be added to the system property: "java.protocol.handler.pkgs". This can be done (and is explained) by the URLConnection class.
