Service interface with public versions of the protected java.net.URLStreamHandler methods. 
 The important differences between this interface and the URLStreamHandler class are that the setURL method is absent and the parseURL method takes a URLStreamHandlerSetter object as the first argument. Classes implementing this interface must call the setURL method on the URLStreamHandlerSetter object received in the parseURL method instead of URLStreamHandler.setURL to avoid a SecurityException.
