// See RFC 2397 for a complete description of the 'data' URL scheme.
//
// Briefly, a 'data' URL has the form:
//
// data:[<mediatype>][;base64],<data>
//
// The <mediatype> is an Internet media type specification (with optional
// parameters.) The appearance of ";base64" means that the data is encoded as
// base64. Without ";base64", the data (as a sequence of octets) is represented
// using ASCII encoding for octets inside the range of safe URL characters and
// using the standard %xx hex encoding of URLs for octets outside that range.
// If <mediatype> is omitted, it defaults to text/plain;charset=US-ASCII. As a
// shorthand, "text/plain" can be omitted but the charset parameter supplied.
//
class NET_EXPORT DataURL {
public:
// This method can be used to parse a 'data' URL into its component pieces.
//
// The resulting mime_type is normalized to lowercase. The data is the
// decoded data (e.g.., if the data URL specifies base64 encoding, then the
// returned data is base64 decoded, and any %-escaped bytes are unescaped).
//
// If the URL is malformed, then this method will return false, and its
// output variables will remain unchanged. On success, true is returned.
//
// OPTIONAL: If |data| is NULL, then the <data> section will not be parsed
// or validated.
