/** 
 * A URL Connection to a Java ARchive (JAR) file or an entry in a JAR
 * file.
 *
 * <p>The syntax of a JAR URL is:
 *
 * <pre>
 * jar:<url>!/{entry}
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>for example:
 *
 * <p><code>
 * jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/baz.jar!/COM/foo/Quux.class<br>
 * </code>
 *
 * <p>Jar URLs should be used to refer to a JAR file or entries in 
 * a JAR file. The example above is a JAR URL which refers to a JAR
 * entry. If the entry name is omitted, the URL refers to the whole
 * JAR file:
 *
 * <code>
 * jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/baz.jar!/
 * </code>
 * 
 * <p>Users should cast the generic URLConnection to a
 * JarURLConnection when they know that the URL they created is a JAR
 * URL, and they need JAR-specific functionality. For example:
 *
 * <pre>
 * URL url = new URL("jar:file:/home/duke/duke.jar!/");
 * JarURLConnection jarConnection = (JarURLConnection)url.openConnection();
 * Manifest manifest = jarConnection.getManifest();
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>JarURLConnection instances can only be used to read from JAR files.
 * It is not possible to get a {@link java.io.OutputStream} to modify or write 
 * to the underlying JAR file using this class.
 * <p>Examples:
 * 
 * <dl>
 * 
 * <dt>A Jar entry
 * <dd><code>jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/baz.jar!/COM/foo/Quux.class</code>
 *
 * <dt>A Jar file
 * <dd><code>jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/baz.jar!/</code>
 *
 * <dt>A Jar directory
 * <dd><code>jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/baz.jar!/COM/foo/</code>
 *
 * </dl>
 *
 * <p><code>!/</code> is refered to as the <em>separator</em>.
 *
 * <p>When constructing a JAR url via <code>new URL(context, spec)</code>,
 * the following rules apply:
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 * <li>if there is no context URL and the specification passed to the
 * URL constructor doesn't contain a separator, the URL is considered
 * to refer to a JarFile.
 *
 * <li>if there is a context URL, the context URL is assumed to refer
 * to a JAR file or a Jar directory.
 *
 * <li>if the specification begins with a '/', the Jar directory is
 * ignored, and the spec is considered to be at the root of the Jar
 * file.
 *
 * <p>Examples:
 *
 * <dl>
 *
 * <dt>context: <b>jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/</b>, 
 * spec:<b>baz/entry.txt</b>
 *
 * <dd>url:<b>jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz/entry.txt</b>
 *
 * <dt>context: <b>jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz</b>, 
 * spec:<b>entry.txt</b>
 *
 * <dd>url:<b>jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz/entry.txt</b>
 *
 * <dt>context: <b>jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/baz</b>, 
 * spec:<b>/entry.txt</b>
 *
 * <dd>url:<b>jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/entry.txt</b>
 *
 * </dl>
