Hello,

In a scenario, I need to, when given a string which either is an properly 
encoded URI or an un-encoded(invalid) URI, transform it to a valid URI.

For example, no matter if the input is "test with spaces" or 
"test%20with%20spaces", the output should be "test%20with%20spaces". The 
algorithm should be idempotent, in other words.

The following algorithm /appears/ to achieve what I want, but I find it 
costly(python example):

def absolutizeURI(string):

        u = KURL(string)

        if u.isValid():
                return u.url()
        else:
                return KURL.encode_string(KURL.decode_string(string))


E.g, a handful of encode/decode loops have parsed the string.

I wonder, what is the proper way of achieving what I want?

BTW, I've attached a small Python test case to play with.


Cheers,

		Frans
