I wonder if there is a simple way to extract Authority from an

What is Authority of URL:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL#Syntax
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_path.html
I was able to gather the filename of URL via std.path package
function: baseName.
import std.stdio, std.path;
void main()
{
string url =
"https://github.com/BoQsc/notes/archive/master.zip";;
// Output: url filename: master.zip
writeln("url filename: ", url.baseName);
// Output: url path: https://github.com/BoQsc/notes/archive
writeln("url path: ", url.dirName);
}
However it seems that std.path lacks ability to extract
Authority part that URL contains.
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_path.html#rootName
I tried std.path.rootName, but it didn't return Authority part
of URL.
import std.stdio, std.path;
void main()
{
string url =
"https://github.com/BoQsc/notes/archive/master.zip";;
// Output: url path:
writeln("url path: ", url.rootName);
}
I'm questioning, if D lang will ever include simple URL parsing
into their std Phobos library?
Curl added an api to access the URL parser it itself uses. It
would say, it is just an pull request away.
For the time being you can e.g. have a look at the package arsd.
It contains an url parser and is very small without any further
dependencies.
Kind regards
