Description Author

This class can be used to normalize URLs according to RFC 3986.

It can take a given URL and may fix it to perform syntax based normalization.

Specifically it may lower the case hexadecimal codes of encoded characters, decode characters which are not reserved, removed unnecessary relative path segments, and lower case of the URL scheme and host name.

Sometimes the users enter URLs that despite browsers will accept them, they are not completely valid.

This class can normalize those URLs using RFC 3986 rules to make the URLs strictly valid.

Details
Syntax based normalization of URI's

This normalises URI's based on the specification RFC 3986 
http://www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.html

Example usage:
<code>
require_once 'URLNormalizer.php';

$url = 'eXAMPLE://a/./b/../b/%63/%7bfoo%7d';
$un = new URLNormalizer();
$un->setUrl( $url );
echo $un->normalize();

// result: "example://a/b/c/%7Bfoo%7D"
</code>

TODO:

Add further scheme-based normalization steps, as detailed in section 6.2.3 of the RFC.
