Support manipulating the origin

[jussi-kalliokoski]

Matching the semantics of the origin in https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-url-origin

e.g.

URI("http://www.cdn.com/foo/bar").origin() // "http://www.cdn.com"
URI("http://www.cdn.com/foo/bar").origin("https://site.inter.net").toString() // "https://site.inter.net/foo/bar"

Please provide a proper description of what you want to achieve. It is important to show context, because terms usually have multiple meanings.

Sorry, messed up and the description got left out! Added it now.

what's the expected difference of .origin() and .authority() besides the scheme/protocol?

[justinmchase]

@rodneyrehm Probably nothing. What is the current way to get the authority and scheme from a url?

There is no way to get scheme and authority in one go. Do you feel like adding .origin() is something you'd like to try and send a PR for?

Ok :)

#261

I didn't see a contibutors.md so I probably missed some things. This is the barebones:

• the addition of the origin function
• unit tests

I ran the test via the index.html file and they passed. If I'm missing anyting required let me know and I'll fix it up.

yeah, a couple of things need to be done in this repository… I was hoping to do that with the 2.0 rewrite - whenever that may happen…
