NAME

       curl_url - create a URL handle

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLU *curl_url();

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  allocates  a  URL  object and returns a CURLU handle for it, to be used as
       input to all other URL API functions.

       This is a handle to a URL object that holds or can hold URL components for a  single  URL.
       When  the  object is first created, there is of course no components stored. They are then
       set in the object with the curl_url_set(3) function.

         if(!rc) {
           char *scheme;
           rc = curl_url_get(url, CURLUPART_SCHEME, &scheme, 0);
