Package org.apache.nutch.plugin

## Class URLStreamHandlerFactory

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.nutch.plugin.URLStreamHandlerFactory

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `URLStreamHandlerFactory`

      public class URLStreamHandlerFactory
      extends Object
      implements URLStreamHandlerFactory

  This URLStreamHandlerFactory knows about all the plugins in use and thus can create the correct URLStreamHandler even if it comes from a plugin classpath. As the JVM allows only one instance of URLStreamHandlerFactory to be registered, this class implements a singleton pattern.
