As a first step towards #29481, driven by the deprecation of the java.net.URL
constructors in JDK 20, we can factor out all URL construction to toURL
methods in ResourceUtils
, centralizing the use of java.net.URL
constructors and therefore also their possible replacement in the future.
Also, UrlResource
traditionally uses equality on a cleaned URL instance for comparisons. This can be replaced with a check on a cleaned URL String, sourced from either a URI or a URL instance.
