Support for Context

Release Notes:
[Fix #6] Fixed the "Construct Path Component" utility VI
[Feature #7] OpenURI now supports "context" (as a String) as well as "port" (as a U16) for better flexibility (feature required to support NI Network Stream protocol)

This Package depends on these other packages:
LabVIEW Open Source Palette >= 1.0.0.2

Features for query and mapping to local path

[Feature: 2] Added a method to append the query elements to an existing attribute variant
[Feature: 3] Adding a method to read a single element from a URI containing a query string
[Feature: 4] Get Path.vi now has an optional flag to strip the leading slash

Initial release

This is an initial release of the openURI library with basic support for handling RFC3986 Unique Resource Identifiers.
The palette exposes a set of URI composition and decomposition methods that act through regular expressions to manipulate the parts according to the norm.

Official terminology for URIs can be found at https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986

From this example URI:
https://username:[email protected]:443/html/rfc3986?query=test&query2=test2#appendix-A

The library handles decomposition of URI into its basic components:

• scheme (ex: https)
• authority (ex: username:[email protected]:443)
• path (ex: "html/rfc3986")
• query (ex: "query=test&query2=test2")
• fragment (ex: "#appendix-A")

Authority is further decomposable into:

• userinfo (ex: "username:password")
• host (ex: "tools.ietf.org")
• port (ex: "443")

Query can further be decomposed into key-value pairs.

Planned future development includes:

• validation of URIs
• recognition of URN and URL specificities
• class-based toolkit with a KVP (key-value pair) dictionary
