I got happy after seeing 1️⃣ thinking I solved some 35+ tests until I saw 2️⃣.

These two URLs result in different strings generated!

file://localhost/path/to/somethere
file://127.0.0.1/path/to/somewhere

WHATWG is written by idiots.
Browsers are doing their own thing btw!

WHATWG mindset:

- file::::::: totally valid URL
- http:: hold on, that's not valid at all!

This is a valid WHATWG URL with a hidden "Hello World" binary message encoded within:

- / is 1
- \ is 0

https:/\\//\\////\\\\//\\/\\/\\\\/\\\\///\\\\/\\\\///\\\\/\\\\\\\\//\\//////\\/\\/\\\\\\/\\\\/\\\\\\\\/\\\\\\//\\//\\\\/\\\\///\\\\//\\//example.com

I don't know whom is to blame, but this is a valid URL:

fILe://C|\\//\////\\\\/\/\/\\\/\

C23: a slightly better C

Tests are passing under the debugger, but not otherwise!


The "It works on my machine" joke has reached a whole new level. 😬

Down to 28 failures out of 348 tests for the URI parser.

There are other features that I haven't written tests for or implemented, so there's still work to do.

Don't pass allocators to vector<any>'s constructor.

Half a day wasted debugging.

My bugs are getting crazier and crazier by the day.

My 2000+ lines of code URI Parser is being replaced.

One of my first pieces of web++ library that I implemented.

2625 failed tests out of 4986 for the WHATWG tests I generated for my URI Parser

Is that bad?

resize_and_overwrite tip: these two values are not the same; I'm just saying to let you know before you spend an hour debugging off-by-one errors.

Down to only 2621 failed tests, yaaay 😅😬

Merged upstream changes of my liburing C++ified fork.

Still some UBs remain (liburing itself heavily relies on UB).
