  44:  * This class is used to model miscellaneous network permissions.  It is
  45:  * a subclass of <code>BasicPermission</code>.  This means that it models a
  46:  * "boolean" permission.  One that you either have or do not have.  Thus
  47:  * there is no permitted action list associated with this object.
  48:  *
  49:  * The following permission names are defined for this class:
  50:  *
  51:  * <ul>
  52:  * <li>setDefaultAuthenticator - Grants the ability to install a facility
  53:  * to collect username and password information when requested by a
  54:  * web site or proxy server.</li>
  55:  * <li>requestPasswordAuthentication - Grants the ability to ask the
  56:  * authentication facility for the user's password.</li>
  57:  * <li>specifyStreamHandler - Grants the permission to specify the
  58:  * stream handler class used when loading from a URL.</li>
  59:  * </ul>
