Ahh!
I have found following statement:

   http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/compatibility.html

(section 11 about java.net.URL)

------------------------------------------------
11. The behavior of java.net.URL has changed slightly for cases in which
a URL instance is constructed from a String. In previous versions of the
Java platform, a final slash ('/') would be added to a URL when the URL
was constructed without one. For example, consider this code: 

URL url = new URL("http://www.xxx.yyy";);
System.out.println(url.toString());

In previous releases, this code would produce the following output. 

http://www.xxx.yyy/

In 1.3, the trailing slash is not automatically appended, so that the
output of the above code is now 

http://www.xxx.yyy

The previous behavior was technically a bug, and it is not expected that
this change will cause any compatibility problems with previous
releases.

I believe we need to make xmlrpc fault tolerant to accept
both ways, i'll have a look into it.
