Question

I am currently calling the following line of code:

java.net.URL connection_url = new java.net.URL('http://<ip address>:<port>/path'); 

and I get the exception above when it executes. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Answer 1

Your code works perfectly fine for me:

public static void main(String[] args) {     try {         java.net.URL connection_url = new java.net.URL('http://:/path');         System.out.println('Instantiated new URL: ' + connection_url);     }     catch (MalformedURLException e) {         e.printStackTrace();     } } 

Instantiated new URL: http://:/path

Sure you have the right line of code?
