util: improve/refactor URI parsing and formatting
Removed/rewritten the functions:
absuri, parseuri, and encodeuri() for percent-encoding.
The functions are now split separately with the following purpose:
- uri_format: format struct uri into a string.
- uri_hasscheme: quick check if a string is absolute or not.
- uri_makeabs: make a URI absolute using a base uri and the original URI.
- uri_parse: parse a string into a struct uri.
The following URLs are better parsed:
- URLs with extra "/"'s in the path prepended are kept as is, no "/" is added
either for empty paths.
- URLs like "http://codemadness.org" are not changed to
"http://codemadness.org/" anymore (paths are kept as is, unless they are
non-empty and not start with "/").
- Paths are not percent-encoded anymore.
- URLs with userinfo field (username, password) are parsed.
like: ftp://user:password@[2001:db8::7]:2121/rfc/rfc1808.txt
- Non-authoritive URLs like mailto:some@email.org, magnet URIs, ISBN URIs/urn,
like: urn:isbn:0-395-36341-1 are allowed and parsed correctly.
- Both local (file:///) and non-local (file://) are supported.
- Specifying a base URL with a port will now only use it when the relative URL
has no host and port set and follows RFC3986 5.2.2 more closely.
- Parsing numeric port: parse as signed long and check <= 0, empty port is
allowed.
- Parsing URIs containing query, fragment, but no path separator (/) will now
parse the component properly.
For sfeed:
- Parse the baseURI only once (no need to do it every time for making absolute
URIs).
- If a link/enclosure is absolute already or if there is no base URL specified
then just print the link directly. There have also been other small performance
improvements related to handling URIs.
