Getting the first part of a URL

Question

I have a Example URL of -
http://www.red.co.uk/blue/white.html
I need only the following -
http://www.red.co.uk/blue/
That is the URL without the page, but all the directories.
getURL() returns the full URL - http://www.red.co.uk/blue/white.html
getFile() returns - /blue/white.html
getHost() returns - www.red.co.uk
Is there a nice easy way to do this?

      2 import java.net.MalformedURLException;
      3
      4 public class URLTest {
      5     public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException
      6     {
      7         URL url = new URL("http://www.red.co.uk/blue/white.html");
      8         URL newUrl = new URL(url, ".");
      9
     10         System.out.println(url);
     11         System.out.println(newUrl);
     12     }
     13 }The output is the desiredhttp://www.red.co.uk/blue/white.html
http://www.red.co.uk/blue/
