Description

Currently, the save(URL) method from AbstractFileConfiguration only supports "file:" URLs.
Why not support writing to URLs too? It is as simple like this

java.net.URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setDoInput(false);
save(connection.getOutputStream());

I could prepare a patch.
