699	add make-uri constructor to uri-generic and uri-common	Moritz Heidkamp	Ivan Raikov	"Currently the only constructors for uri-generic and uri-common URI records are {{{uri-reference}}} and {{{absolute-uri}}}. This is slightly inconvenient when constructing a URI from individual components. For example, when starting Spiffy one might want to construct the URI it can be reached by. Currently one has to do something like this:

{{{
(update-uri (uri-reference """")
            scheme: (if (secure-connection?) 'https 'http)
            port: (server-port)
            host: (or (server-bind-address)
                      ""0.0.0.0""))
}}}

Whereas this would be much nicer:

{{{
(make-uri scheme: (if (secure-connection?) 'https 'http)
          port: (server-port)
          host: (or (server-bind-address)
                    ""0.0.0.0""))

}}}

It also seems more complete to have {{{make-uri}}} in those eggs. Attached is a patch that implements it for both eggs in terms of {{{update-uri}}} so as to touch as little code as possible. Feel free to apply it or re-implement it the other way around :-)"	enhancement	closed	minor		extensions	4.7.x	fixed
