If nothing else, the several hundred unit tests are useful. I don't think KURL even does any cannonicalization (which gurl does). http://code.google.com/p/google-url/ I think WebKit should just pull in gurl as a dependency. The google coding style is kinda strange, but generally pretty similar to WebKit's own. It might even be published somewhere externally... 68824 1 eric 2008-01-30 11:45:18 -0800 bug 16799 is an example where (in complex cases) we would require a url parser which could canonicalize urls. 68831 2 brettw 2008-01-30 12:37:35 -0800 A pet peeve of mine is that a link to "Apple.com" will not be marked as visited, because the URL is not canonicalized before Safari does a history lookup. 1924212 3 ap 2023-01-09 16:18:54 -0800 Our URL class is very different now from what it was in 2008.
