Actually, there are two places which does the parsing:
- boost/network/uri/detail/url_parser.hpp -- function parse_url<>(...)
- boost/network/uri/http_url.hpp -- function parse_special<>(...)
The 'http' is parsed by the function parse_url, which takes the scheme
('http') and the scheme-specific part ('//www.boost.org') and then
delegates the special parsing of the scheme-specific part to
parse_special. What happens then is the range [start_,end_) is just
'//www.boost.org' when it's passed in parse_special.
The problem becomes that because of the grammar I already have in
there, www.boost.org seems to be parsed as the user instead of the
host. Basically I need something regex-like:
//~([user]:[password]@)[host]~(:[port])
(where '~' denotes optional).
Right now I'm trying a lot of things with a "longest-match" kind of
parser, maybe having lexemes of lexemes.

You might want to check out the latest boost trunk and let me know if
you get any farther with testing things out. :)
