implementing Java's URI in GWT

[alexp]

Hello there,

I recently noticed this TODO in the javadoc for the UriBuilder
constructor:

"Add a constructor that parses an existing URL"

I searched a little for an existing class to parse URIs in GWT but did
not have much luck, so I thought I'd give it a shot to implement one.

My approach was to mimic the API in Java's java.net.URI class, and
derive the implementation from Steven Levithan's JavaScript parseUri
1.2 code[1].

I've banged out a preliminary version of the class and would like some
feedback, but before I do so, I was wondering if it's even possible to
submit this to GWT, as I am reading the "Making GWT Better" page about
code contributions and the CLA agreements and am not quite sure how
that affects the fact that a portion of the code is derived from
Steven's class. His code is released under the MIT license and I am
more than willing to include whatever notices/attribution in the code
as necessary.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Alex

AIUI,MIT license allows you to re-license the code under Apache (sublicense). But I wonder why you simply don't use the regex from the RFC?

For a java programmer it is nicer to use the java API if possible, I think...

I was suggesting using the RFC as the starting point, rather than some JS code by another developer (which itself is based on the regex from the RFC)
