I’ve enhanced the loose mode a bit to support and tokenize literal IPv4 and IPv6 addresses as well as splitting an FQDN into hostname and domain.

Thanks

String.prototype.parseUri = function() {
var o = String.prototype.parseUri.options;
var m = o.parser.ipv6.exec(this);
var uri = {};
var i = 18;
while (i–)
uri[o.key[i]] = m[i] || “”;

uri[o.q.name] = {};
uri[o.key[16]].replace(o.q.parser, function($0, $1, $2) {
if ($1)
uri[o.q.name][$1] = $2;
});

if (uri.ipv4 != “”) {
uri.ip = uri.ipv4;
}
else
if (uri.ipv6 != “”) {
uri.ip = uri.ipv6;
}

return uri;
};

String.prototype.parseUri.options = {
// strictMode : false,
key : [ "source", "protocol", "authority", "userInfo", "user", "password",
"host", "ipv4", "ipv6", "basename", "domain", "port", "relative",
"path", "directory", "file", "query", "anchor" ],
q : {
name : “queryKey”,
parser : /(?:^|&)([^&=]*)=?([^&]*)/g
},
parser : {
ipv6 : /^(?:(?![^:@]+:[^:@\/]*@)([^[:\/?#.]+):)?(?:\/\/)?((?:(([^:@]*)(?::([^:@]*))?)?@)?((?:(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)|\[([a-fA-F0-9:]+)\]|([^.:\/?#]*))(?:\.([^:\/?#]*))?)(?::(\d*))?)(((\/(?:[^?#](?![^?#\/]*\.[^?#\/.]+(?:[?#]|$)))*\/?)?([^?#\/]*))(?:\?([^#]*))?(?:#(.*))?)/
