valid Url hostname
In converting a plain HTML-only home page to a Curl page I made a discovery (to me, at least.)
In Canada, from my Cdn IP, the only path to google.com instead of google.ca is to concat a query. Browsers accept the HTML anchor href of https://www.google.com?q= but they silently convert it to https://www.google.com/?q= But Curl rejects the former - even when using {url-encode-string maybe-has-query? = true, The hostname will prove invalid. Creating a URL and then using set-query is of no avail. But this will work : https://www.google.com/?q= and with one forward slash after the top-level we have a valid hostname. And yet, in Curl we do get away with {link href={url "http://www.bbc.co.uk"} || ... for modest inconsistency in parsing 'What Is A Valid Hostname?' ... or not?
