Homework 4: Web browser, part 1

Design and implement a graphical user interface for a simple web browser. It will need to have the following features:

An area in which web content can be rendered
- Do not use JTextArea, JTextPane, or JEditorPane for this
- Your best bet will be to customize a JPanel
Additional areas in which:
- A URL can be entered
- Search terms can be entered
- A summary of all hyperlinks on the current page will be displayed
"Forward", "Back", "Stop", "Reload", and "Home" buttons

Once your GUI is complete, do the following:

Display the HTML source for a URL in the content area
- Use the HTTP/1.1 protocol to do this
- Use Talker.java as a guide to using Sockets for this purpose
Design your program so that your communication class is completely independent of your GUI implementation
Use a thread for the network communication; this way, the GUI should still be responsive even if a network communication is underway.
Implement the stop button to halt a network communication
Using regular expressions, validate every URL entered in the URL bar
