RFC2396 URL 1.0 Beta 1 Released

God breathing through me

RFC2396 URL 1.0 Beta 1 Released

Published on August 11, 2007

A few weeks ago, I announced a new open source project for RFC2396 URLs which is a part of our implementation for Google Safe Browsing API in Subkismet.

Today I'm happy to announce the first public Beta release of this component. Happy because I never thought that I can release this sooner than 3-4 months!

This first release contains everything necessary for our Subkismet project. For now, it only supports canonicalization of URLs based on RFC2396 specification with an exception: it doesn't normalize IP based URLs.

But it supports all other steps to canonicalize a URL based on Mozilla algorithm. As you can guess, most the job was around regular expressions and string manipulations. Unit testing helped me a lot on writing this component.

Here is an example of using this component:

		using System;

		using System.Collections.Generic;

		using System.Linq;

		using System.Text;

		using RFC2396;

		namespace TestRFC2396

		{

		    class Program

		    {

		        static void Main(string[] args)

		        {

		            Console.Title = "Test RFC2396 URL 1.0 Beta 1";

		            string url = "http://One.2.nayyeri$.net/1/gholi/./3/test/keyvan/../nayyeri.html#something";

		            RFC2396Url RfcUrl = new RFC2396Url(url);

		            Console.WriteLine(RfcUrl.Canonicalize());

		            Console.ReadLine();

		        }

		    }

		}

And this is the output:

Now that we have a class for performing lookups and necessary code to canonicalize URLs, we have an easy way ahead to implement Google Safe Browsing API in Subkismet.

For this project, I will try to add new features and improve the component whenever I could get off from other projects.

You can download binary or source code of RFC2396 URL Beta 1 from CodePlex. I appreciate any feedback.
