Greetings.
I am interested at advisory as to how to handle XMPP URI links.
This is how module "urllib" handles this type of URI.
urlparse
--------
from urllib.parse import urlparse
urlparse("xmpp:pubsub.python.i2p?;node=xmpp-python-news")
ParseResult(
scheme='xmpp',
netloc='',
path='pubsub.python.i2p',
params='',
query=';node=xmpp-python-news',
fragment='')
urlparse("xmpp:[email protected]?;node=urn:xmpp:microblog:0;item=xmpp-and-python")
ParseResult(
scheme='xmpp',
netloc='',
path='[email protected]',
params='',
query=';node=urn:xmpp:microblog:0;item=xmpp-and-python',
fragment='')
Hostname (netloc) should be "pubsub.movim.eu" and "python.i2p".
Your example has no netloc. From the Python docs:
"recognizes a netloc only if it is properly introduced by ‘//’.
Otherwise the input is presumed to be a relative URL and thus to start
with a path component."
parse_qs
--------
Another issue, is not recognizing query parameters.
from urllib.parse import parse_qs
parse_qs("xmpp:[email protected]?;node=urn:xmpp:microblog:0;item=xmpp-and-python")
{'xmpp:[email protected]?;node': ['urn:xmpp:microblog:0;item=xmpp-and-python']}
The query parameters are not recorgnized unless the URI is formed in a similar
fashion to HTTP URI, which is not a valid XMPP URI.
parse_qs("xmpp://[email protected]/?node=urn:xmpp:microblog:0&item=xmpp-and-python")
{'xmpp://[email protected]/?node': ['urn:xmpp:microblog:0'], 'item':
['xmpp-and-python']}
urllib does not support xmpp:
"The module has been designed to match the internet RFC on Relative
Uniform Resource Locators. It supports the following URL schemes: file,
ftp, gopher, hdl, http, https, imap, itms-services, mailto, mms, news,
nntp, prospero, rsync, rtsp, rtsps, rtspu, sftp, shttp, sip, sips,
snews, svn, svn+ssh, telnet, wais, ws, wss."
The docs page is at
https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.parse.html#module-urllib.parse
Request

I would appreciate your advisory.
Kind reagrds,
Schimon
