SV: [jdom-interest] One less TODO item

[Per Norrman]

I can understand the redirect issue. I didn't realize the
HTTP GET problem, and you're obvioulsy correct. Then, shouldn't
URLConnection#getUrl reflect this fact, even in the absent path
case?

A quick test:
	
      public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        
        
        testURLConnection("http://www.ibm.com");
        testURLConnection("http://www.ibiblio.org/xml");
        testURLConnection("http://www.cafeconleche.org");
	}

	private static void testURLConnection(String uri)
		throws MalformedURLException, IOException {
		URL url = new URL(uri);
		URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
            conn.getContent();
		System.out.println(conn.getURL().toExternalForm());
	}

produces

	http://www.ibm.com/us/
	http://www.ibiblio.org/xml/
	http://www.cafeconleche.org

Obviously, URLConnection records the redirects that are happening, but not
that it determined to supply the trailing slash on its own. Is this a bug in
URLConnection?
