Normalize a URL to a standard unicode encoding

urlnorm.py

Normalize a URL to a standard unicode representation

urlnorm normalizes a URL by:

• lowercasing the scheme and hostname

• converting the hostname to IDN format

• taking out default port if present (e.g., http://www.foo.com:80/)

• collapsing the path (./, ../, //, etc)

• removing the last character in the hostname if it is ‘.’

• unescaping any percent escape sequences (where possible)

• upercase percent escape (ie: %3f => %3F)

• converts spaces, and %20 to ‘+’

• converts ip encoded as an integer to dotted quad notation
