//USING REGEX
/**
 * Parse URL to get information
 *
 * @param   url     the URL string to parse
 * @return  parsed  the URL parsed or null
 */
var UrlParser = function (url) {
    "use strict";

    var regx = /^(((([^:\/#\?]+:)?(?:(\/\/)((?:(([^:@\/#\?]+)(?:\:([^:@\/#\?]+))?)@)?(([^:\/#\?\]\[]+|\[[^\/\]@#?]+\])(?:\:([0-9]+))?))?)?)?((\/?(?:[^\/\?#]+\/+)*)([^\?#]*)))?(\?[^#]+)?)(#.*)?/,
        matches = regx.exec(url),
        parser = null;

    if (null !== matches) {
        parser = {
            href              : matches[0],
            withoutHash       : matches[1],
            url               : matches[2],
            origin            : matches[3],
            protocol          : matches[4],
            protocolseparator : matches[5],
            credhost          : matches[6],
            cred              : matches[7],
            user              : matches[8],
            pass              : matches[9],
            host              : matches[10],
            hostname          : matches[11],
            port              : matches[12],
            pathname          : matches[13],
            segment1          : matches[14],
            segment2          : matches[15],
            search            : matches[16],
            hash              : matches[17]
        };
    }

    return parser;
};

var parsedURL=UrlParser(url);
console.log(parsedURL);
