URI - Proposed Wording (Revision 4)

by Glyn Matthews, Dean Michael Berris

Excerpt:

Revisions to N3827

1. Reverted normalization invariant and added the normalize member function and uri_normalization_level again.
2. Added functions for interoperability with std::filesystem::path.
3. Replaced multiple exception classes with a single exception class, uri_error. The uri_error enum has become uri_error_code.
4. Updated make_relative and resolve sections.
5. Removed references to IETF RFC 2732, which, it was pointed out, is superseded by IETF RFC 3986.
