    Description

      QUrl parses URLs containing an absolute hostname (ending in a dot) incorrecly, for example QUrl("http://www.example.com./somefile")

      I believe that this is a bug as Section 3.2.2 of RFC 3986 explicitly permits such hostnames:

      A registered name intended for lookup in the DNS uses the syntax defined in Section 3.5 of [RFC1034] and Section 2.1 of [RFC1123]. Such a name consists of a sequence of domain labels separated by ".", each domain label starting and ending with an alphanumeric character and possibly also containing "-" characters. The rightmost domain label of a fully qualified domain name in DNS may be followed by a single "." and should be if it is necessary to distinguish between the complete domain name and some local domain.

      The following code sample demonstrates the problem

      #include <QtCore/QCoreApplication>
      #include <QtCore/QUrl>
      #include <QtCore/QDebug>
      
      int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
          QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
          QUrl test("http://www.example.com./somefile");
          qDebug() << "Parsed = " << test;
          return 0;
      }
      

      This gives

      [trav@stratus ~]$ ./qtbug-QUrl 
      Parsed =   QUrl( "http:/somefile" )
