Sounds like a budding project :). I've often wanted this and have small
pieces of code lying around , let me know if you start something.

Subject: URL Parsing libraries

> Does anyone out there know of any good URL parsing libraries? I'm
currently
> aware of two such libraries, w3c's libwww, and senga's uri lib. Libwww is
> clearly bloated (it should probably be at least 3-4 smaller libraries) and
> so I'd rather not include it with my program for the small portion that I
> actually need. Senga looked really promising. It's small, and it does just
> what I need. Unfortunately, it relies on libintl (which it doesn't even
> bother to search for) and not all systems have that. Not to mention, the
> project seems dead, I tried contacting the author regarding adding ftps
> support but he never responded.
>
> What I really need is a library that runs under both *nix and Win32 and
can:
> 1.) Split a URL into its components
> 2.) Convert a URL to canonical form from "user" form (e.g.
www.blah.com/some
> dir/file.txt -> http://www.blah.com/some%20dir/file.txt, etc.)
>
> Also, just an idea... perhaps it would be a good idea to have a new
section
> on the libcurl website. Instead of just a competing libs page, what about
> something like a "related" libs page. For example things like this would
> appear on such a page. It basically would include libraries that someone
who
> is using libcurl might also want to use. Another example would be the
> library Daniel posted earlier "libproxydetect" which even specifically
says
> it was meant to compliment libcurl. Furthermore, having such a page might
> breathe new life into such projects. Maybe someone else will see it and
> start maintaining it.
