                                  throws FileNotFoundException,
                                         IOException

Returns an InputStream for the file represented by the href argument

Parameters:

href - the href of the file to get the input stream for.

documentBase - the document base of the href argument, if it is a relative href set documentBase to null if there is none.

Returns:

an InputStream to the desired resource

Throws:

FileNotFoundException - when the file could not be found

IOException

getReader

public static Reader getReader(String href,
                               String documentBase)
                        throws FileNotFoundException,
                               IOException

Returns a Reader for the file represented by the href argument

Parameters:

href - the href of the file to get the input stream for.

documentBase - the document base of the href argument, if it is a relative href set documentBase to null if there is none.

Returns:

an InputStream to the desired resource

Throws:

FileNotFoundException - when the file could not be found

IOException

getDocumentBase

public static String getDocumentBase(String href)

Returns the document base of the href argument

Returns:

the document base of the given href

getRelativeURI

public static String getRelativeURI(String href)

Returns the relative URI of the href argument

Returns:

the relative URI the given href

normalize

public static String normalize(String absoluteURL)
                        throws MalformedURLException

This method removes "." or ".." from absolute URL. I needed this method because the JDK doesn't do this automatically when creating URLs.

Parameters:

absoluteURL - the absolute URI to normalize

Throws:

MalformedURLException

resolveAsString

public static String resolveAsString(String href,
                                     String documentBase)
