All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable
```
public class HttpURL
extends Object
implements Serializable
```
This class act as a mutable URL, which could be a replacement or "wrapper" to the URL class. It can also be used as a safer way to build a URL or a URI instance as it will properly escape appropriate characters before creating those.
