[Mono-dev] Custom Uri Parsing

[Alan McGovern]

Hey,

The main reason why I didn't actually do any work on this at the time is
that it would probably take 1 man month to do the rewrite, pass the existing
tests and write more tests for the new behaviours and I didn't have a month
free to do it ;) Proper support for the new parser API is required to
properly support System.IO.Packaging, so I'd be willing to offer any advice
if you want to take on the task.

The biggest problem (as I saw it at the time) is that this is an all or
nothing kind of patch. It might be impossible to do this one uri scheme at a
time without making things ridiculously complicated internally. While the
existing code will be useful as a guide, you will end up chopping it up into
tiny pieces and moving it around into the different parser subclasses.

Alan.

p.s. The above should be mostly accurate, but the last time I looked at this
was when I sent the original email ;)
