No, the URL string can be anything ... Just realize the update()
method will not work when it is not a URL; you will have to use the
update(InputStream) method. Actually, in the mobile specification,
this is mandated.
See 6.1.6.15, "typically in the form of a URL", clearly indicating
that it is not mandated to be a URL.
Kind regards,
