trurl

Seems like an excellent use case for trurl [1], a tool built on curls url parsing functions (which can presumably handle any weird url format you throw at it), though I'm not sure how well packaged/available it is. [1]: https://github.com/curl/trurl

bagder (of curl) also made trurl to address URL manipulation: https://github.com/curl/trurl

Ok, we've changed the URL to that from https://github.com/curl/trurl. Thanks!

https://github.com/curl/trurl Apparently, it requires curl 7.81 to compile, but I'm on ubuntu 20 (7.6x) and wanted to do a quick try, so this patch makes it work (trivially) by removing the couple of new symbols depending on that newer version. Just a quick hack to compile. --- a/trurl.c +++ b/trurl.c @@ -362,11 +362,12 @@ static void get(struct option *op, CURLU *uh) case CURLUE_NO_PORT: case CURLUE_NO_QUERY: case CURLUE_NO_FRAGMENT: - case CURLUE_NO_ZONEID: + // would require 7.81 + // case CURLUE_NO_ZONEID: /\* silently ignore */ break; default: - fprintf(stderr, PROGNAME ": %s (%s)\n", curl_url_strerror(rc), + fprintf(stderr, PROGNAME ": %s (%s)\n", rc, variables[i].name);
