An rfc1738 compatible url parser written in PureScript

This project's primary purpose is for me to explore monadic parser combinators.

The URL spec used in this project is from RFC 1738, section 3.3. For now, the only implemented URLs are http and https. It should be trivial to add others.

The Url module provides the parsers httpURL and httpsURL from the Text.Parsing.StringParser module. For now, they can be run with the following snippet:

parse "https://github.com"

This will give you either a ParseError or a Url. A Url can be stringified using the toString function. See the unit tests for more information.

Future improvements:

• Provide a convenience function to parse urls. This will prevent the need to depend on Text.Parsing.StringParser as a consumer of this module.
• Implement IDNA ToASCII for hostname
• Provide more functions to manipulate urls.
• Prevent invalid Url construction by using smart constructors. It is now possible to create a negative port number for example.
