Are you using a third party library to parse URIs/IRIs, or did you implement it yourself? People have acted like there is no easy availability of reliable libraries for this kind of thing in C. If that is false, it would be very good to know. To be fair, for a server, in addition to being able to parse the request IRI, there is also possibly the need to normalise it, e.g. the server's idea of its domain name might involve two separate characters (a basic vowel plus an accent symbol, say) while the request's version uses a single combined character (or the other way around). We might spec that one form is required, but robustness would require checking. It might be that *this* is the really hard requirement, rather than simply parsing. (servers seem to get off lighter than clients, as they don't e.g. need to do DNS lookups or resolve relative URLs - which, by the way, seems to be the correct terminology, not "absolutise" as I've confused people with earlier) Cheers, Solderpunk is something people have acteThe impression I've received from other people here is that parsing an IRI in C is prohibitively difficult., in my code > everything are simple char arrays (in C), but it does. > > Are there other specifics handling required for being > IRI compliant?
