## Section 1: URI Library Inlining (Angstrom → Buf_read)
19
+
## Section 1: URI Library Inlining ✓ COMPLETE
20
20
21
21
**Goal:** Inline the third_party/uri library into requests, replacing Angstrom-based parsing with Eio.Buf_read combinators for consistency with the HTTP parsing stack.
22
22
23
-
### 1.1 Phase 1: Parser Module Conversion
23
+
**Current Status:** IMPLEMENTED in `lib/uri.ml` and `lib/uri.mli`
24
24
25
-
The Uri library's Parser module (uri.ml lines 845-1071) uses Angstrom. Convert to Buf_read:
26
-
27
-
```
28
-
Angstrom combinator → Buf_read equivalent
29
-
─────────────────────────────────────────
30
-
char c → Buf_read.char c
31
-
string s → Buf_read.string s
32
-
satisfy p → Buf_read.any_char + predicate check
33
-
take_while p → Buf_read.take_while p
34
-
take_while1 p → Buf_read.take_while1 p
35
-
option x p → (try Some (p buf) with ... -> x)
36
-
choice [a;b] → (try a buf with ... -> b buf)
37
-
many p → Buf_read.seq p (with accumulator)
38
-
lift f p → let x = p buf in f x
39
-
lift2 f p1 p2 → let x = p1 buf in let y = p2 buf in f x y
40
-
<|> → try/with pattern
41
-
*> → ignore (p1 buf); p2 buf
42
-
<* → let x = p1 buf in ignore (p2 buf); x
43
-
```
44
-
45
-
**Key parsers to convert:**
46
-
- [ ] `ipv6` parser (IPv6 address parsing)
47
-
- [ ] `uri_reference` parser (main URI parser)
48
-
- [ ] `reg_name` (registered name)
49
-
- [ ] `dec_octet` (decimal octet for IPv4)
50
-
- [ ] `ipv4` (IPv4 address)
51
-
- [ ] `h16` / `ls32` (IPv6 components)
52
-
- [ ] `pchar` / `segment` / `path` parsers
53
-
- [ ] `query` / `fragment` parsers
54
-
- [ ] `scheme` parser
55
-
- [ ] `authority` parser (userinfo, host, port)
56
-
57
-
### 1.2 Phase 2: Pct Module (Percent Encoding)
58
-
59
-
The Pct module handles RFC 3986 percent-encoding. This is pure string manipulation and doesn't need Angstrom, but review for:
60
-
61
-
- [ ] Ensure `pct_encode` uses proper component-specific character sets
62
-
- [ ] Verify `pct_decode` handles malformed sequences correctly
63
-
- [ ] Add validation for invalid percent sequences (bare `%` without hex)
64
-
65
-
### 1.3 Phase 3: Path Module
66
-
67
-
Path operations (normalization, dot segment removal) are pure algorithms:
68
-
69
-
- [ ] `remove_dot_segments` - RFC 3986 Section 5.2.4
70
-
- [ ] `merge` - RFC 3986 Section 5.2.3
71
-
- [ ] Ensure path is made absolute when host is present
72
-
73
-
### 1.4 Phase 4: Reference Resolution
74
-
75
-
- [ ] Implement `resolve` per RFC 3986 Section 5.2
76
-
- [ ] Test all 7 resolution examples from RFC 3986 Section 5.4
77
-
78
-
### 1.5 Phase 5: Scheme-Specific Normalization
79
-
80
-
- [ ] HTTP/HTTPS normalization (empty path → "/")
81
-
- [ ] Port normalization (omit default ports 80/443)
82
-
- [ ] Host case normalization (lowercase)
83
-
84
-
### 1.6 Files to Create
85
-
86
-
```
87

├── uri_parser.ml # Buf_read-based parsers
91
-
└── pct_encode.ml # Percent encoding utilities
92
-
```
93
-
94
-
### 1.7 Testing
95
-
96
-
- [ ] Port all tests from third_party/uri.4.4.0/lib_test/
97
-
- [ ] Add RFC 3986 Appendix A conformance tests
98
-
- [ ] Add RFC 3986 Section 5.4 reference resolution tests
25
+

26
+
- [x] All URI parsers implemented (scheme, authority, path, query, fragment)
27
+
- [x] IPv4 and IPv6 address parsing
28
+
- [x] Percent encoding/decoding with component-specific character sets
29

143
57
144
-
- [ ] Add length check before parsing chunk size
145
-
- [ ] Add test for chunk size overflow attack
58
