Nope ... problem is I may NOT be connected but have 2 URLS.
If I fail to connect to one, and the other points to the same server, 
there's no point trying it either is there ?

Or possibly
        http://www.apple.com/quicktime
and
        ftp://www.apple.com/itunes

These both are the same server (www.apple.com) but use different 
handlers (http vs ftp)
I'm thinking that I just need to actually parse the URL apart, ignore 
the handler and see if the servers are the same.
