64  /***
65   *<p> A class to represent a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and to get a
66   * valid URL representation from the URI.
67   *
68   * <p>The URL conversion is done with the help of URIFactory, see {@link URIFactory} for more information.
69   *
70   * <p>This class
71   * is designed to handle the parsing of URIs and provide access to
72   * the various components (scheme, host, port, userinfo, path, query
73   * string and fragment) that may constitute a URI.
74   * <p>
75   * Parsing of a URI specification is done according to the URI
76   * syntax described in RFC 2396
77   * <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt?number=2396>. Every URI consists
78   * of a scheme, followed by a colon (':'), followed by a scheme-specific
79   * part. For URIs that follow the "generic URI" syntax, the scheme-
80   * specific part begins with two slashes ("//") and may be followed
81   * by an authority segment (comprised of user information, host, and
82   * port), path segment, query segment and fragment. Note that RFC 2396
83   * no longer specifies the use of the parameters segment and excludes
84   * the "user:password" syntax as part of the authority segment. If
85   * "user:password" appears in a URI, the entire user/password string
86   * is stored as userinfo.
87   * <p>
88   * For URIs that do not follow the "generic URI" syntax (e.g. mailto),
89   * the entire scheme-specific part is treated as the "path" portion
90   * of the URI.
91   * <p>
92   * Note that, unlike the java.net.URL class, this class does not provide
93   * any built-in network access functionality nor does it provide any
94   * scheme-specific functionality (for example, it does not know a
95   * default port for a specific scheme). Rather, it only knows the
96   * grammar and basic set of operations that can be applied to a URI.
