Allow the application to resolve external entities.
The Parser will call this method before opening any external entity
except the top-level document entity including the external DTD subset,
external entities referenced within the DTD, and external entities
referenced within the document element): the application may request that
the parser resolve the entity itself, that it use an alternative URI, or
that it use an entirely different input source.
Application writers can use this method to redirect external system
identifiers to secure and/or local URIs, to look up public identifiers in
a catalogue, or to read an entity from a database or other input source
(including, for example, a dialog box).
If the system identifier is a URL, the SAX parser must resolve it fully
before reporting it to the application.
