BasicHttpFetcher currently has support for fetching file:// URLs. The only place I can find that used is in test code for BasicHttpFetcher, and I don't think it's particularly useful there. I'm adding more test cases to the http fetching classes.
Objections to me removing the file:// support? (It looks like both Kevin and Paul have plans to use the apache commons HTTP client. I'm writing the regression tests for when they do that. =)
