This handler factory can be used as a replacement for the default handler factory
by calling PathURLStreamHandlerFactory.install. This will attempt to call
URL.setURLStreamHandlerFactory using the PathURLStreamHandlerFactory as the parameter
This does not always work however because the URL.setURLStreamHandlerFactory method
can only be called once per JVM. For example Tomcat calls that method on startup
and therefore it cannot called when using tomcat.
A second way to be able to create URLs that can open connections to custom Path
implementations is to create the URLs using:
new URL(null,"protocol://path",new PathURLStreamHandler())
The final and perhaps best way (if possible) is to start the JVM with the
parameter -Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=scalax.file
This will instruct the JVM to look for protocol handlers provided by scalaio
Adds support to for the filesystem URL protocols.
