1.5 Customizing Client Request Properties

URLConnection introduces the following method (see Section 3.5 for HTTP properties).
- void setRequestProperty(String key, String value)
The server might, but not must, send a 406 (not acceptabe) status code when it can’t satisfy a request.

URLConnection c = url.openConnection();
System.out.println( "old status:" +  c.getHeaderField(0) );
System.out.println( "old Content-Type:  "
                    + c.getHeaderField( "Content-Type") );
c.setRequestProperty( "Accept", "text/plain");  //Broken. Why????
System.out.println( "new status:" +  c.getHeaderField(0) );
System.out.println( "new Content-Type:  "
                    + c.getHeaderField( "Content-Type") );
