[Spice-devel] [spice-gtk 2/5] session: Lookup URI query part before path part

[David Jaša]

Just for the record: path is part of hierarchical part of the uri that
begins with double slash "//". Query part of the URI starts with
question mark "?" and it is followed by Fragment part that starts with
hash "#". So this is perfectly legal URI:

spice://fqdn?param=value

that contain just scheme ("spice"), hostname ("fqdn") and query
("param=value") sections.

BTW the password could be conveyed via uri in the more
standards-following way:

spice://:password@fqdn[port][path][query][fragment]

IIRC there used to be a generic parser for URIs in glib that was removed
at some point of time, didn't you think about making this code more
generic so that each and every URI-parsing glib app doesn't have to go
through these hoops over and over again?
