Client

A client is a generic term for an object any given implementation needs to sucessfully complete its tasks. This is usually completely containted within the implemenation classes themselves, exposed through their constructors, but the Utilities classes, which parse URL's and return the cooresponding implementation objects will need these clients as well.

No client is needed to connect to the Windows Local Filesystem.
