Okay, given that HTTP redirects seem like a corner-case of a
corner-case in URLClassLoader, it seems the obvious choice is do not
do any changes to long-standing behavior here.
I agree. Remote class loading was very interesting in a world of
distributed objects, security managers and sandboxing. I don't think we
have data to know how widely used URLClassLoader is with http/https in
modern applications and deployments. If something compelling comes up
that has performance issues then they could be looked at then.
