java.net.URL.equals()

[GoogleCodeExporter]

java.net.URL.equals() overzealously does name resolution and takes host IP 
into account.

This is an unnecessary overhead and undesired feature for openid's needs: 
string comparision of the normalized form is required for equality 
comparision.

For what it's worth, the java.net.URI class does not have this problem.
URIs and URLs can be converted into one another through their toURL()/toURI()
methods.
