Proper way to check for URL equality

Question

I have the following scenario:

URL u1 = new URL(\"http://www.yahoo.com/\");
URL u2 = new URL(\"http://www.yahoo.com\");

if (u1.equals(u2)) {
    System.out.prin         


        

Answer 1

You can always compare relative URLs with Path.equals-method

ex.

Paths.get("/user/login").equals(Paths.get("/user/login/")))

produce true

You can also use startsWith/endsWith-methods
