how to change the url string of URL object

[Cyper Hunter]

Hi:

Do you know how to change the url string of URL object? For example, I
have an URL object declared as:

URL myurl = new URL("http://www.cnn.com");

How to change the url string of myurl to be "http://www.yahoo.com"?
Thanks.

From the docs:

set
protected void set(String protocol,
String host,
int port,
String file,
String ref)
Sets the fields of the URL. This is not a public method so that only
URLStreamHandlers can modify URL fields. URLs are otherwise constant.

In other words, you can't.
