We are happy to announce the open source release of Client URL Internet Emission Sniffer (CURLIES). The purpose of this project is to see how browsers and other Web clients transform URLs as they access them. This is done by generating a number of test cases and having each client load the test files while running a packet sniffer to capture the network emissions. Reports are then generated from the sniffed packets, highlighting differences between the clients. For further details and test results, see the project site: http://code.google.com/p/curlies/ http://code.google.com/p/curlies/wiki/DesignDocumentForClientURLInternetEmissionSniffer I have also written some recommendations for browser developers. While the HTML5 Web Addresses spec already describes how to parse and resolve a URL, I have taken this a step further to include the DOM interfaces that can be used to obtain IRIs, URIs and Unicode host names. http://code.google.com/p/curlies/wiki/RecommendationsForBrowserDevelopers http://www.w3.org/html/wg/href/draft Happy Thanksgiving! Erik PS Many thanks to Shaopeng Jia (Google), who did most of the actual work.
