Description

Android (unlike the regular JDK) does not clean up and close HttpURLConnection objects properly which can cause all manner of problems.

The initialize() method in JarRevision creates a URLConnection but never closes it because close() is only present in HttpURLConnection. We need a modified class which checks for the URLConnection being of type HttpURLConnection, and will correctly close() it at the end of the method.
