public URL toURL () throws MalformedURLException

Constructs a URL from this URI.

This convenience method works as if invoking it were equivalent to evaluating the expression new URL(this.toString()) after first checking that this URI is absolute.

Returns:  A URL constructed from this URI

Exceptions:

IllegalArgumentException		If this URL is not absolute
MalformedURLException		If a protocol handler for the URL could not be found, or if some other error occurred while constructing the URL
