Pull request overview
Expands docs/URL-SYNTAX.md with additional details about how libcurl parses URLs, covering numerical IPv4/IPv6 address handling, lack of IPvFuture support, and path normalization. Also applies minor line-wrapping reflow to two existing paragraphs.
Changes:
- Adds new subsections describing numerical IPv4 normalization, IPv6 zone-id handling, and unsupported
IPvFutureformat. - Adds a new top-level "Path" section noting
/./,/../removal and percent-encoding normalization to uppercase. - Notes that libcurl rejects hostnames with more than one trailing dot, and minor reflow of two existing paragraphs.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
