// An Origin is a tuple of (scheme, host, port), as described in RFC 6454.
//
// TL;DR: If you need to make a security-relevant decision, use 'url::Origin'.
// If you only need to extract the bits of a URL which are relevant for a
// network connection, use 'url::SchemeHostPort'.
//
// STL;SDR: If you aren't making actual network connections, use 'url::Origin'.
//
// 'Origin', like 'SchemeHostPort', is composed of a tuple of (scheme, host,
// port), but contains a number of additional concepts which make it appropriate
// for use as a security boundary and access control mechanism between contexts.
//
// This class ought to be used when code needs to determine if two resources
// are "same-origin", and when a canonical serialization of an origin is
// required. Note that some origins are "unique", meaning that they are not
// same-origin with any other origin (including themselves).
//
// There are a few subtleties to note:
//
// * Invalid and non-standard GURLs are parsed as unique origins. This includes
// non-hierarchical URLs like 'data:text/html,...' and 'javascript:alert(1)'.
//
// * GURLs with schemes of 'filesystem' or 'blob' parse the origin out of the
// internals of the URL. That is, 'filesystem:https://example.com/temporary/f'
// is parsed as ('https', 'example.com', 443).
//
// * Unique origins all serialize to the string "null"; this means that the
// serializations of two unique origins are identical to each other, though
// the origins themselves are not "the same". This means that origins'
// serializations must not be relied upon for security checks.
//
// * GURLs with a 'file' scheme are tricky. They are parsed as ('file', '', 0),
// but their behavior may differ from embedder to embedder.
//
// * The host component of an IPv6 address includes brackets, just like the URL
// representation.
//
// Usage:
//
// * Origins are generally constructed from an already-canonicalized GURL:
//
// GURL url("https://example.com/");
// url::Origin origin(url);
// origin.scheme(); // "https"
// origin.host(); // "example.com"
// origin.port(); // 443
// origin.IsUnique(); // false
//
// * To answer the question "Are |this| and |that| "same-origin" with each
// other?", use |Origin::IsSameOriginWith|:
//
// if (this.IsSameOriginWith(that)) {
// // Amazingness goes here.
// }

//
// 1. If |url| is invalid or non-standard, a unique Origin is constructed.
// 2. 'filesystem' URLs behave as 'blob' URLs (that is, the origin is parsed
// out of everything in the URL which follows the scheme).
// 3. 'file' URLs all parse as ("file", "", 0).

//
// This constructor should be used in order to pass 'Origin' objects back and
// forth over IPC (as transitioning through GURL would risk potentially
// dangerous recanonicalization); other potential callers should prefer the
// 'GURL'-based constructor.
