043/**
044 * This class is used to model miscellaneous network permissions.  It is
045 * a subclass of <code>BasicPermission</code>.  This means that it models a
046 * "boolean" permission.  One that you either have or do not have.  Thus
047 * there is no permitted action list associated with this object.
048 *
049 * The following permission names are defined for this class:
050 *
051 * <ul>
052 * <li>setDefaultAuthenticator - Grants the ability to install a facility
053 * to collect username and password information when requested by a
054 * web site or proxy server.</li>
055 * <li>requestPasswordAuthentication - Grants the ability to ask the
056 * authentication facility for the user's password.</li>
057 * <li>specifyStreamHandler - Grants the permission to specify the
058 * stream handler class used when loading from a URL.</li>
059 * </ul>
