The C and C++ URL software is intended for thin-client interfaces and
applications that need access to Internet resources. It has been modelled
on the Java(TM) URL and URLConnection classes, to facilitate the transition
to Java, and to maintain a common API across all targets.
Note that the C and C++ implementations are sufficient for their purpose,
and anything written to these interfaces should transfer easily to Java.
They are not full implementations of the Java API, and are not intended for
recoding Java applications in C.
