might I suggest naming it URI or IRI, and the addition of some or all of
the following methods:
bool isAbsolute();
URI defrag();
URI toAbsolute();
URI resolveReference(in URI reference);
the following methods exposed to handle complicated URIs:
u = new URI('http://ex.org/a/b/c/d/../.././egg#s/../x');
u.isAbsolute(); -> boolean
u.defrag(); ->
'http://ex.org/a/b/c/d/../.././egg'
u.toAbsolute(); -> 'http://ex.org/a/b/egg'
and to resolve relative URIs + URI References:
u = new URI('http://ex.org/a/b/c/d');
u.resolveReference('../.././n?x=y'); -> 'http://ex.org/a/n?x=y'
ps: I'll happily implement this interface Javascript whenever as I've
already got something similar: http://github.com/webr3/URI
Best,
Nathan
