[Cuis-dev] New package: Cuis-Smalltalk-URI

[olivier auverlot]

Hi Eric,

I just looked at your package and it looks better than mine.

I agree with you. We need a package to build and parse URI. This is a real
need for writing modern software.

In the next few days, I'm going to use your package to build a PostgREST
client. I'll be able to test it and help you develop it further.

Best regards
Olivier
