I'm thinking it's worth creating liburl, with parse routines, and then a front end for the command line, url(1). Some quick google work shows nothing quite like url(1) (save one obscure reference to the MKS toolkit on Windows), and searching for a lex/yacc grammar for parsing urls doesn't turn up anything useful.
