    >The problem comes when you try to break down the authority portion into host and port That's a problem orthogonal to URI parsing. You parse the URI with the RFC 3986 regex, which …

    Is that so? RFC 3986 Appendix B [1] "Parsing a URI Reference with a Regular Expression": The following line is the regular expression for breaking-down a well-formed URI reference …

    8 bit per component = 0-255 red, 0-255 green, 0-255 blue Like ~99% of images you encounter on the Web.
