Two things jump out at me:
1) It looks like it's container-dependent: "The servlet container must
implement the URL handlers and |URLConnection| objects that are
necessary to access the resource."
2) It's not making a "real" request so the container might short-circuit
the normal request procedure in order to return the resource as
efficiently as possible?
