Classpath is currently treating the "_urn:" as a protocol and discarding the context even though "_urn:" is not a valid protocol. Sun's runtime will append the spec to the context in this case instead of replacing the context.

  url = new URL("http://www.foo.bar.com";);
  url = new URL(url, "http://www.foo.bar.com";);

this should produce "http://www.foo.bar.com/http://www.foo.bar.com";.
