…and it is 100% compatible to curl‘s true, living url parsing standard.

@icing I need more coffee. I saw who sent the post and automatically parsed that as "hey, no need to curl this early in the morning" and was like wat?

@troed @icing I apologize for not taking low coffee level amounts into account before writing "complicated" toots 😀

this looks great, thanks for creating it! For years I've been using Python's urllib in the interactive interpreter, this will surely be a nice replacement.

Just a tiny remark: the scheme guessing looks like a potential footgun to me

@andrea the guessing is there because that's exactly the same guessing curl does, which makes trurl behave exactly like curl in that aspect

I twitched because the preview image really made feel like I was having to solve a captcha. Please select all the images containing a valid URL...

I remember working on an API that had all kinds of fields for things like host, port, resource name, etc.

I went to everyone and said "You know we have a structured microformat for this information already, right?"

It helped that we were in python and urlparse was everywhere, but even that won't split "netloc" for you grumblegrumble...
