final class UriNormalizer
* Default normalizations which only include the ones that preserve semantics.

* self::REMOVE_DEFAULT_HOST | self::REMOVE_DEFAULT_PORT | self::REMOVE_DOT_SEGMENTS
const PRESERVING_NORMALIZATIONS = 63;
* All letters within a percent-encoding triplet (e.g., "%3A") are case-insensitive, and should be capitalized.
* Example: http://example.org/a%c2%b1b → http://example.org/a%C2%B1b
const CAPITALIZE_PERCENT_ENCODING = 1;
* Decodes percent-encoded octets of unreserved characters.
* For consistency, percent-encoded octets in the ranges of ALPHA (%41–%5A and %61–%7A), DIGIT (%30–%39),
* hyphen (%2D), period (%2E), underscore (%5F), or tilde (%7E) should not be created by URI producers and,
* when found in a URI, should be decoded to their corresponding unreserved characters by URI normalizers.
* Example: http://example.org/%7Eusern%61me/ → http://example.org/~username/
const DECODE_UNRESERVED_CHARACTERS = 2;
* Converts the empty path to "/" for http and https URIs.
* Example: http://example.org → http://example.org/
const CONVERT_EMPTY_PATH = 4;
* Removes the default host of the given URI scheme from the URI.
* Only the "file" scheme defines the default host "localhost".
* All of `file:/myfile`, `file:///myfile`, and `file://localhost/myfile`
* are equivalent according to RFC 3986. The first format is not accepted
* by PHPs stream functions and thus already normalized implicitly to the
* second format in the Uri class. See `GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Uri::composeComponents`.
* Example: file://localhost/myfile → file:///myfile
const REMOVE_DEFAULT_HOST = 8;
* Removes the default port of the given URI scheme from the URI.
* Example: http://example.org:80/ → http://example.org/
const REMOVE_DEFAULT_PORT = 16;
* Removes unnecessary dot-segments.
* Dot-segments in relative-path references are not removed as it would
* change the semantics of the URI reference.
* Example: http://example.org/../a/b/../c/./d.html → http://example.org/a/c/d.html
const REMOVE_DOT_SEGMENTS = 32;
* Paths which include two or more adjacent slashes are converted to one.
* Webservers usually ignore duplicate slashes and treat those URIs equivalent.
* But in theory those URIs do not need to be equivalent. So this normalization
* may change the semantics. Encoded slashes (%2F) are not removed.
* Example: http://example.org//foo///bar.html → http://example.org/foo/bar.html
const REMOVE_DUPLICATE_SLASHES = 64;
* Sort query parameters with their values in alphabetical order.
* However, the order of parameters in a URI may be significant (this is not defined by the standard).
* So this normalization is not safe and may change the semantics of the URI.
* Example: ?lang=en&article=fred → ?article=fred&lang=en
* Note: The sorting is neither locale nor Unicode aware (the URI query does not get decoded at all) as the
* purpose is to be able to compare URIs in a reproducible way, not to have the params sorted perfectly.
const SORT_QUERY_PARAMETERS = 128;
* Returns a normalized URI.
* The scheme and host component are already normalized to lowercase per PSR-7 UriInterface.
* This methods adds additional normalizations that can be configured with the $flags parameter.
* PSR-7 UriInterface cannot distinguish between an empty component and a missing component as
* getQuery(), getFragment() etc. always return a string. This means the URIs "/?#" and "/" are
* treated equivalent which is not necessarily true according to RFC 3986. But that difference
* is highly uncommon in reality. So this potential normalization is implied in PSR-7 as well.
* @param UriInterface $uri The URI to normalize
* @param int $flags A bitmask of normalizations to apply, see constants
* @return UriInterface The normalized URI
