Hello Bisser,

the getHost() method returns the host of URLs that follow the scheme
protocol://host/path, which is not the case for the mailto: URL.
I wouldn't say that you're doing something wrong, but I wouldn't call
it a bug either. EMail addresses are usually not decomposed on the
URI level, they are used opaque. The Javadocs of JDK 1.4's URI class
even mention this explicitly:

> An opaque URI is an absolute URI whose scheme-specific part does not
> begin with a slash character ('/'). Opaque URIs are not subject to
> further parsing. Some examples of opaque URIs are:
>
>    mailto:java-net@java.sun.com	
>    news:comp.lang.java	
>    urn:isbn:096139210x

Maybe we should update the JavaDocs of our URI class accordingly to
prevent other users from falling into the same trap.

cheers,
  Roland
