/**
 * Plain text file handler
 *
 * This class provides an example of a a replacement content handler for
 * the text/plain content type.  It reads the content of the URL, and prepends
 * an additional message at the beginning.
 *
 * Note that the only restrictions on the package/class names are:
 * 1) the package must end in the major type of the content type (such as
 *    text, image, application, etc).
 * 2) the class name must be named with the subtype of the content type (for
 *    content type "text/plain", this would be "plain" as in this example; for
 *    content type "image/gif", the class name would be "gif", and the package
 *    name must end with ".image".
 * 3) the class must be a subclass of ContentHandler.
 * 4) It must define the getContent function.
