Description

Construct a URL or parse one.

This function parses or constructs URLs. A URL may be constructed from scratch by providing all the components or it may be parsed from an existing URL.

The returned object is a golang URL and can be serialized again using its String method.

This function is important when constructing parameters for certain accessors which receive a URL. For example the zip accessor requires its file names to consist of URLs. The Zip accessor interprets the URL in the following way:

The scheme is the delegate accessor to use.
The path is the delegate accessor’s filename
The fragment is used by the zip accessor to retrieve the zip member itself.

In this case it is critical to properly escape each level - it is not possible in the general case to simply append strings. You need to use the url() function to build the proper url.
