+ # Recognize user:pass@host URLs also, although we do not do anything with

+
+ # URLs have basically four parts.
+ # First, before the colon, is the protocol scheme (e.g. http)
+ # Second, for HTTP-like protocols, is the authority
+ # The authority is preceded by // and lasts up to (but not including)
+ # the following / and it identifies up to four parts, of which only one,
+ # the host, is required (if an authority is present at all). All other
+ # parts of the authority (user name, password, port number) are optional.
+ # Third is the resource name, which is split into two parts at a ?
+ # The first part (from the single "/" up to "?") is the path, and the
+ # second part (from that "?" up to "#") is the query. *HOWEVER*, we do
+ # not need to separate them; we send the whole lot to the server.
+ # Fourth is the fragment identifier, which is everything after the first
+ # "#" in the URL. The fragment identifier MUST NOT be sent to the server
+ # and indeed, we don't bother to validate it (it could be an error to
+ # pass it in here, but it's cheap to strip).
+ #
+ # An example of a URL that has all the parts:
+ # http://jschmoe:xyzzy@www.bogus.net:8000/foo/bar.tml?q=foo#changes
+ # The "http" is the protocol, the user is "jschmoe", the password is
+ # "xyzzy", the host is "www.bogus.net", the port is "8000", the path is
+ # "/foo/bar.tml", the query is "q=foo", and the fragment is "changes".
+ #
+ # Note that the RE actually combines the user and password parts, as
+ # recommended in RFC 3986. Indeed, that RFC states that putting passwords
+ # in URLs is a Really Bad Idea, something with which I would agree utterly.
+ # Also note that we do not currently support IPv6 addresses.
+ #
+ # From a validation perspective, we need to ensure that the parts of the
