urlnorm.py: URL normalisation
#!/usr/bin/env python
"""
urlnorm.py - URL normalisation routines
urlnorm normalises a URL by;
* lowercasing the scheme and hostname
* taking out default port if present (e.g., http://www.foo.com:80/)
* collapsing the path (./, ../, etc)
* removing the last character in the hostname if it is '.'

Setting up Heroku Hostname SSL with GoDaddy SSL Cert
How to setup Heroku Hostname SSL with GoDaddy SSL Certificate and Zerigo DNS

The following tutorial explains how to use Heroku's new 'Hostname SSL' option on your Heroku project. Before we begin, let's list what we're using here:
* Heroku Hostname SSL
* GoDaddy Standard SSL Certificate
* Zerigo DNS
