    @class wxURL

    wxURL is a specialization of wxURI for parsing URLs. Please look at wxURI
    documentation for more info about the functions you can use to retrieve the
    various parts of the URL (scheme, server, port, etc).

    Supports standard assignment operators, copy constructors, and comparison
    operators.

        value different from ::wxURL_NOERR.
