namespace url {
// This class represents a (scheme, host, port) tuple extracted from a URL.
//
// The primary purpose of this class is to represent relevant network-authority
// information for a URL. It is _not_ an Origin, as described in RFC 6454. In
// particular, it is generally NOT the right thing to use for security
// decisions.
//
// Instead, this class is a mechanism for simplifying URLs with standard schemes
// (that is, those which follow the generic syntax of RFC 3986) down to the
// uniquely identifying information necessary for network fetches. This makes it
// suitable as a cache key for a collection of active connections, for instance.
// It may, however, be inappropriate to use as a cache key for persistent
// storage associated with a host.
//
// In particular, note that:
//
// * SchemeHostPort can only represent schemes which follow the RFC 3986 syntax
// (e.g. those registered with GURL as "standard schemes"). Non-standard
// schemes such as "blob", "filesystem", "data", and "javascript" can only be
// represented as invalid SchemeHostPort objects.
//
// * For example, the "file" scheme follows the standard syntax, but it is
// important to note that the authority portion (host, port) is optional.
// URLs without an authority portion will be represented with an empty string
// for the host, and a port of 0 (e.g. "file:///etc/hosts" =>
// ("file", "", 0)), and URLs with a host-only authority portion will be
// represented with a port of 0 (e.g. "file://example.com/etc/hosts" =>
// ("file", "example.com", 0)). See Section 3 of RFC 3986 to better understand
// these constructs.
//
// * SchemeHostPort has no notion of the Origin concept (RFC 6454), and in
// particular, it has no notion of a "unique" Origin. If you need to take
// uniqueness into account (and, if you're making security-relevant decisions
// then you absolutely do), please use 'url::Origin' instead.
//
// Usage:
//
// * SchemeHostPort objects are commonly created from GURL objects:
//
// GURL url("https://example.com/");
// url::SchemeHostPort tuple(url);
// tuple.scheme(); // "https"
// tuple.host(); // "example.com"
// tuple.port(); // 443
//
// * Objects may also be explicitly created and compared:
//
// url::SchemeHostPort tuple(url::kHttpsScheme, "example.com", 443);
// tuple.scheme(); // "https"
// tuple.host(); // "example.com"
// tuple.port(); // 443
//
// GURL url("https://example.com/");
// tuple.Equals(url::SchemeHostPort(url)); // true
