title: Java Malformed URL Exception
body: <p>I'm trying to make an http POST request in an android app I'm building, but no matter what url I use for the request, Eclipse keeps raising a Malformed URL Exception. I've tried a line of code from one of the android tutorials:</p>
  
  <pre><code>URL url = new URL("https://wikipedia.org");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And even that triggers the error. Is there a reason Eclipse keeps raising this error for any URL I try to create?</p>
