Overview

Package maurl converts between multiaddrs and URLs.

Importing this package registers a new multiaddr protocol named "httppath" that allows the path part of a URL to be encoded into a multiaddr as a url.PathEscape encoded string.

Representing a URL as a mutliaddr may be necessary when announcing content advertisement publishers that publish via HTTP, or when advertising content providers that have HTTP addresses.
