rurl 1.2.0

rurl 1.2.0

Dependencies

• punycoder (used for IDNA/Punycode encoding and decoding) is now on CRAN.
  DESCRIPTION requires punycoder (>= 1.0.0).

Behavior changes

• The package-wide default for case_handling is now "lower_host" (was
  "keep" for safe_parse_url(), safe_parse_urls(), get_clean_url(), and
  the get_*() accessors, and "lower" for get_path()). This is the
  RFC 3986 §6.2.2.1 normalization: the case-insensitive scheme and host fold to
  lowercase while the case-sensitive path is preserved. With the previous
  defaults, hosts such as WWW.Example.COM and www.example.com did not fold
  to one identity, and get_path() silently lowercased paths (two pages that
  differ only by path casing collapsed to one). Pass case_handling = "keep"
  to restore the previous reconstruction, or "lower" to lowercase the whole
  URL including the path. (RURL-lzepdnmm)
