Detailed Description

This class describes a Universal Resource Locator.

This is the desciption of a resource location as used by the World Wide Web and the PHTTPSocket class.

Note, this has been extended to be for URI's (Universal Resource Identifier) which is a superset of URL's. But for backward compatinility reasons the name is still PURL.

virtual

This function yields a hash value required by the PDictionary class.

A descendent class that is required to be the key of a dictionary should override this function. The precise values returned is dependent on the semantics of the class. For example, the PString class overrides it to provide a hash function for distinguishing text strings.

The default behaviour is to return the value zero.
