nsIStandardURL

nsIStandardURL defines the interface to an URL with the standard
file path format common to protocols like http, ftp, and file.
It supports initialization from a relative path and provides
some customization on how URLs are normalized.

Methods

init(aUrlType, aDefaultPort, aSpec, aOriginCharset, aBaseURI)

Initialize a standard URL.

Parameters

aUrlType	- one of the URLTYPE_ flags listed above.
aDefaultPort	- if the port parsed from the URL string matches this port, then the port will be removed from the canonical form of the URL.
aSpec	- URL string.
aOriginCharset	- the charset from which this URI string originated. this corresponds to the charset that should be used when communicating this URI to an origin server, for example. if null, then provide aBaseURI implements this interface, the origin charset of aBaseURI will be assumed, otherwise defaulting to UTF-8 (i.e., no charset transformation from aSpec).
aBaseURI	- if null, aSpec must specify an absolute URI. otherwise, aSpec will be resolved relative to aBaseURI.
