Summary

Support non-special scheme URLs correctly. Previously, Chromium's URL parser doesn't support non-special URLs. The parser parses non-special URLs as if they had an “opaque path”, which is not aligned with the URL Standard. Now, Chromium's URL parser parses non-special URLs correctly, following the URL Standard. See http://bit.ly/url-non-special for more details.

Motivation

Make Chromium's non-special URL behavior Web compatible.
