//! Parse and normalize URL paths using nginx semantics.
//!
//! `url-parse-nginx` is a one-to-one Rust port of nginx's URI parser
//! and normalizer. Within the supported scope described below, it matches
//! nginx's accept/reject decisions and produces byte-for-byte identical
//! normalized paths and query strings. This equivalence is continuously
//! checked by differential fuzzing against nginx's C implementation.
//!
//! The crate supports `no_std` environments with `alloc`. Normalizing a path
//! that differs from the input allocates an output buffer; unchanged paths and
//! query strings borrow the input.
//!
//! [`parse_origin_form`] accepts an origin-form request target, normalizes
//! its path, and returns the query string separately. Path normalization
//! percent-decodes `%XX`, resolves `.` and `..` segments, and optionally merges
//! adjacent slashes.
//!
//! [Origin-form] is the usual HTTP request-target format: a path starting
//! with `/`, optionally followed by `?` and a query string, such as
//! `/search?q=rust`.
//!
//! Other request-target forms, such as absolute-form
//! (`http://example.com/path`), authority-form (`example.com:443`), and
//! asterisk-form (`*`), are not supported.
//! The parsing behavior follows nginx on Linux; Windows-specific nginx
//! behavior is not supported.
//!
//! Some nginx processing paths, including some `proxy_pass` cases, first
//! normalize and percent-decode the request path, then percent-encode the
//! normalized path again. To reproduce this decode-then-encode flow, pass
//! [`Parsed::path`] to `percent_encoding::percent_encode` with
//! `PATH_ESCAPE_SET`. The set is available when the default
//! `percent-encoding` feature is enabled.
//!
//! [Origin-form]: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9112.html#section-3.2.1
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```
//! use url_parse_nginx::parse_origin_form;
//!
//! let parsed = parse_origin_form(b"/docs/../hello%20world?x=1", true)?;
//! assert_eq!(&*parsed.path, b"/hello world"); // ".." resolved, "%20" decoded
//! assert_eq!(parsed.args, Some(&b"x=1"[..]));
//! # Ok::<(), url_parse_nginx::ParseError>(())
//! ```

## Percent-encoding the normalized path

The default `percent-encoding` feature also supports nginx-compatible
re-encoding:

```
use percent_encoding::percent_encode;
use url_parse_nginx::{parse_origin_form, PATH_ESCAPE_SET};

let parsed = parse_origin_form(b"/docs/../hello%20world", true)?;
let encoded = percent_encode(parsed.path.as_ref(), PATH_ESCAPE_SET);
assert_eq!(encoded.to_string(), "/hello%20world");
# Ok::<(), url_parse_nginx::ParseError>(())
```
"#
)]

// Implementation notes:
//
// The parser ports two functions from `src/http/ngx_http_parse.c`:
//
// * `ngx_http_parse_uri()` — stage 1. Walks an origin-form path and sets the
//   `complex_uri` / `quoted_uri` / `plus_in_uri` flags and the `args_start` /
//   `uri_ext` boundaries. It does not modify the path.
// * `ngx_http_parse_complex_uri()` — stage 2. Decodes `%XX`, resolves `.` /
//   `..` and collapses `//` (when `merge_slashes` is set), producing the
//   normalized path.
//
// The C code walks raw buffers with `u_char *` cursors. Here:
//
// * `p` (the input cursor) is a `usize` index into a `buf: &[u8]`.
// * `u` (the output cursor) is a `usize` index into `out: &mut [u8]`.
//   Where nginx lets its pointer walk backwards past the buffer start during
//   `..` handling, the Rust port uses `checked_sub` and returns the same error.
// * Pointer fields that C stores as `u_char *` become `usize` offsets. Their
//   base buffer follows the C code exactly: `args_start` is always an offset
//   into the input; `uri_ext` is an input offset in stage 1 and an output
//   offset in stage 2 (it is reset at the top of stage 2, so the two never
//   interact — same as C).
// * nginx relies on "there is always at least one readable byte (the LF)
//   after the URI": stage 2 reads one byte at `uri_end`. The Rust port uses a
//   checked read that yields `\n` at that position, avoiding an input copy
//   made solely to materialize the sentinel.
