"""Parse (absolute and relative) URLs.
See RFC 1808: "Relative Uniform Resource Locators", by R. Fielding,
UC Irvine, June 1995.
urlparse module is based upon the following RFC specifications.
RFC 3986 (STD66): "Uniform Resource Identifiers" by T. Berners-Lee, R. Fielding
and L. Masinter, January 2005.
RFC 2732 : "Format for Literal IPv6 Addresses in URL's by R.Hinden, B.Carpenter
and L.Masinter, December 1999.
RFC2396: "Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI)": Generic Syntax by T.
Berners-Lee, R. Fielding, and L. Masinter, August 1998.
RFC2368: "The mailto URL scheme", by P.Hoffman , L Masinter, J. Zwinski, July 1998.
RFC 1808: "Relative Uniform Resource Locators", by R. Fielding, UC Irvine, June
1995.
RFC1738: "Uniform Resource Locators (URL)" by T. Berners-Lee, L. Masinter, M.
McCahill, December 1994
RFC 3986 is considered the current standard and any changes to urlparse module
should conform to this. urlparse module is not entirely compliant with this.
The defacto scenarios of parsing are considered sometimes and for backward
compatiblity purposes, older RFC uses of parsing are retained. The testcases in
test_urlparse.py provides a good indicator of parsing behavior.
