trurl

trurl is a command line tool designed to parse and manipulate URLs, aimed at aiding shell script authors by simplifying the complexities associated with URL handling. Much like 'tr' translates or transposes characters in strings, trurl performs similar functions for URLs. Recognizing the inherent difficulties and security issues in URL parsing, trurl leverages the libcurl URL parser, ensuring it comprehends URLs in the same manner as the curl command line tool. This makes trurl an ideal companion for those already familiar with curl. The tool is lightweight, with a download size of 52.6 KB, and aims to mitigate the need for repeated custom URL parsing solutions in scripts.
