Re: [boost] Boost-like URL handling/parsiing library?

I am in need of a library to parse/encode/decode URLs. A quick look through the boost tree doesn't yield any obvious candidates.

Before I dive into writing my own, does anyone have any pointers/recommendations?

My effort at an HTTP request parser using Spirit is here: http://svn.chezphil.org/libpbe/trunk/src/Request.cc The bit for URL parsing starts with the rule for absolute_uri, I think. I built this from EBNF in RFCs 2616 and 2396. Unfortunately, these have bugs which remain unfixed after 8 years! Presumably most HTTP implementers are not using the EBNF as the basis of their parsers.... Phil.
