It is a very basic question. But i am unable to find an answer in Java documentation and unable to test it as well since i don't know if such method exist or not.
I might receive a URL String which could be
http://www.example1.com
or
http://www.example1.com/
and then i will get resource path which might start with /api/v1/status.xml
or it would be like api/v1/status.xml
I was looking at URL
class and I can handle the first part i.e. fetching the hostURL to make it an HTTPS or HTTP request. The problem is appending the resource path. either i have to check it manually if the first letter is /
or not. I was wondering if this functionality is already in some class or not.
