public class UrlExternalFormComparator
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Comparator<java.net.URL>, java.io.Serializable
A comparator of URL instances.
Comparing URLs with their implementation of #equals() is
bad because it may cause problems like DNS resolving, or other
slow checks. This comparator uses the external form of an URL
to make a simple comparison of two Strings.
