1069 * Helper function to parse a URI-Reference as specified by RFC3986.
1070 *
1071 * This function matches the URI-Reference production from RFC3986,
1072 * which includes both URIs like
1073 *
1074 *    scheme://[[userinfo]@]foo.com[:port]]/[path][?query][#fragment]
1075 *
1076 *  and relative-refs like
1077 *
1078 *    [path][?query][#fragment]
1079 *
1080 * Any optional elements portions not present in the original URI are
1081 * left set to NULL in the resulting evhttp_uri.  If no port is
1082 * specified, the port is set to -1.
1083 *
1084 * Note that no decoding is performed on percent-escaped characters in
1085 * the string; if you want to parse them, use evhttp_uridecode or
1086 * evhttp_parse_query_str as appropriate.
1087 *
1088 * Note also that most URI schemes will have additional constraints that
1089 * this function does not know about, and cannot check.  For example,
1090 * mailto://www.example.com/cgi-bin/fortune.pl is not a reasonable
1091 * mailto url, http://www.example.com:99999/ is not a reasonable HTTP
1092 * URL, and ftp:username@example.com is not a reasonable FTP URL.
1093 * Nevertheless, all of these URLs conform to RFC3986, and this function
1094 * accepts all of them as valid.
1095 *
1096 * @param source_uri the request URI
1097 * @param flags Zero or more EVHTTP_URI_* flags to affect the behavior
1098 *              of the parser.
1099 * @return uri container to hold parsed data, or NULL if there is error
1100 * @see evhttp_uri_free()
