 \section{\class{wxURL}}\label{wxurl}
 
+wxURL is a specialization of \helpref{wxURI}{wxuri} for parsing URLs.
+Please look at \helpref{wxURI}{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.

+Constructs a URL object from the string.  The URL must be valid according

-Constructs an URL object from the string.
+It is valid to leave out the hostname but slashes must remain in place -
