File class using URI in a web server.

Question

How do I reference a file or directory on a web server using the File class?
For example, if the URL is http://localhost:8080/foo and I want to access the images directory, how would I do it?
This is what I've tried:
URI uri = new URI("http",null,"foo",8080,"/foo/images",null,null);
File file = new File(uri);
I am getting an exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI scheme is not "file"
uri.toString() looks good. File just doesn't seem to like a directory within a web server. I don't think I'm going to know the absolute path when I move to the actual web server.
