[cpp-netlib-devel] URI

[Jeroen H. <vex...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

I just pushed a major rewrite of the URI parser to my github fork, and
there are a couple of things to take into consideration for the
moment. Also, Dean, could you please verify I pushed it to the right
branch and everything this time.

Here's a quick list, in no specific order:
- HTTP support is broken at the moment, which breaks a lot of other
code, this should be fixed soon and is a priority.
- The parser doesn't have support for IP's yet, thus
scheme://localhost/ works, scheme://127.0.0.1/ doesn't, whilst both
are valid
- A lot more tests need to be added
- There's been an API change, protocol() has been renamed to scheme()
as it's what the name the RFC uses, and according to Wikipedia scheme
and protocol are two different things
- Documentation needs to be updated, and an the example should be
expanded to show the use of scheme() for example
- Another API change is coming up, which will expose the optional
parameters as boost::optionals, instead of returning an empty default
value
