I, like billions of other developers, have a medium sized project that for various reasons, invented its own thread, io, etc libraries. I'm thinkin of switching over to boost stuff for all my utility needs, but I'm wondering if boost has/possibly will have/is open to the possibility of adding/ or will never have the following facilities:
url parsing (something like the filesystem lib)
I've written code to parse URI's according to RFC 2396 (URI Generic Syntax). It's part of a library that allows iterating through archives such as zip files in a manner similar to Boost.Filesystem. Right now it's not nearly as portable, elegant or free as Boost.Filesystem, but if my iostreams library is approved later this year I may consider boostifying all or part of it and submitting it for review.
