I suppose it is because loader works on RandomAccessFile (I do not see
any other reason in which switching to URLs would be hard). If somebody
would like to implement quick hack/decompilation etc, maybe it would be
possible to download entire file over the net into byte buffer and
create fake RandomAccessFile over it (by subclassing RAF and overriding
all methods). This could probably would require a bit refactoring of
main entry method for loader, to accept RAF, not String, but should be
easy - I suppose first line is just RAF file = new RAF(filename).
Just a blind guess - never seen the loader, not talking about
decompilation.
