As to the URL API, it solves the problem of developers making their own URL parsers that often work differently to the cURL parser (those differences can cause security issues); and considering it's possible for cURL 7.62.0 (Oct 2018) to do that parsing, and it's a fairly simple API, that would work in a similar way to the existing cURL functionality in PHP, it would be good for PHP developers to use that in PHP 8.2.
