Hi!

For UTF-8 maybe check feature request #5 (http://sourceforge.net/p/uriparser/feature-requests/5/).

About a helper accessing a path segment by index: Limited time and too low priority to me right now, to be honest.

About the simple example of a test I'm not sure yet what exactly you re asking for. If there are open questions about usage, I can offer support via voice chat.

Best, Sebastian
