Hi Everyone,
I've been working on a new RFC for a while now, and time has come to
present it to a wider audience.
Last year, I learnt that PHP doesn't have built-in support for parsing URLs
according to any well established standards (RFC 1738 or the WHATWG URL
living standard), since the parse_url() function is optimized for
performance instead of correctness.
In order to improve compatibility with external tools consuming URLs (like
browsers), my new RFC would add a WHATWG compliant URL parser functionality
to the standard library. The API itself is not final by any means, the RFC
only represents how I imagined it first.
You can find the RFC at the following link:

Regards,
