// URL filename encoder goals:
//
// 1. Allow URLs with arbitrary path-segment length, generating filenames
//    with a maximum of 128 characters.
// 2. Provide a somewhat human readable filenames, for easy debugging flow.
// 3. Provide reverse-mapping from filenames back to URLs.
// 4. Be able to distinguish http://x from http://x/ from http://x/index.html.
//    Those can all be different URLs.
// 5. Be able to represent http://a/b/c and http://a/b/c/d, a pattern seen
//    with Facebook Connect.
//
// We need an escape-character for representing characters that are legal
// in URL paths, but not in filenames, such as '?'.
//
// We can pick any legal character as an escape, as long as we escape it too.
// But as we have a goal of having filenames that humans can correlate with
// URLs, we should pick one that doesn't show up frequently in URLs. Candidates
// are ~`!@#$%^&()-=_+{}[],. but we would prefer to avoid characters that are
// shell escapes or that various build tools use.
//
// .#&%-=_+ occur frequently in URLs.
// <>:"/\|?* are illegal in Windows
//   See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247(VS.85).aspx
// ~`!$^&(){}[]'; are special to Unix shells
// In addition, build tools do not like ^@#%
//
// Josh took a quick look at the frequency of some special characters in
// Sadeesh's slurped directory from Fall 09 and found the following occurances:
//
//   ^   3               build tool doesn't like ^ in testdata filenames
//   @   10              build tool doesn't like @ in testdata filenames
//   .   1676            too frequent in URLs
//   ,   76              THE WINNER
//   #   0               build tool doesn't like it
//   &   487             Prefer to avoid shell escapes
//   %   374             g4 doesn't like it
//   =   579             very frequent in URLs -- leave unmodified
//   -   464             very frequent in URLs -- leave unmodified
//   _   798             very frequent in URLs -- leave unmodified
//
//
// The escaping algorithm is:
//  1) Escape all unfriendly symbols as ,XX where XX is the hex code.
//  2) Add a ',' at the end (We do not allow ',' at end of any directory name,
//     so this assures that e.g. /a and /a/b can coexist in the filesystem).
//  3) Go through the path segment by segment (where a segment is one directory
//     or leaf in the path) and
//     3a) If the segment is empty, escape the second slash. i.e. if it was
//         www.foo.com//a then we escape the second / like www.foo.com/,2Fa,
//     3a) If it is "." or ".." prepend with ',' (so that we have a non-
//         empty and non-reserved filename).
//     3b) If it is over 128 characters, break it up into smaller segments by
//         inserting ,-/ (Windows limits paths to 128 chars, other OSes also
//         have limits that would restrict us)
//
// For example:
//     URL               File
//     /                 /,
//     /index.html       /index.html,
//     /.                /.,
//     /a/b              /a/b,
//     /a/b/             /a/b/,
//     /a/b/c            /a/b/c,   Note: no prefix problem
//     /u?foo=bar        /u,3Ffoo=bar,
//     //                /,2F,
//     /./               /,./,
//     /../              /,../,
//     /,                /,2C,
//     /,./              /,2C./,
//     /very...longname/ /very...long,-/name   If very...long is about 126 long.

// NOTE: we avoid using some classes here (like FilePath and GURL) because we
//       share this code with other projects externally.
