rubygem-fuzzyurl

Non-strict parsing, composition, and wildcard-matching of URLs in Ruby

Fuzzyurl provides two related functions: non-strict parsing of URLs or URL-like strings into their component pieces (protocol, username, password, hostname, port, path, query, and fragment), and fuzzy matching of URLs and URL patterns. Specifically, URLs that look like this: [protocol ://] [username [: password] @] [hostname] [: port] [/ path] [? query] [# fragment] Fuzzyurls can be constructed using some or all of the above fields, optionally replacing some or all of those fields with a * wildcard if you wish to use the Fuzzyurl as a URL mask.
