Research direction

Start by locating the crate's feature definitions and the public URL conversion APIs, then review how an optional http dependency could expose conversion to http::Uri. Check the http::Uri constructors and existing URL tests; done means the feature-gated API converts supported url::Url values without an intermediate string parse and is covered by tests.

Description

enhancement
Rationale

The simplest way to convert from a url::Url to a http::Uri currently is to turn it into a string and then parse it again. It would be helpful if there was an API to do this conversion directly, instead of necessitating another round of parsing

Proposal

With a feature flag called http, the dependency http can be added.
When the http feature is active, a function can be exposed which does the conversion from url's internal structure to that of http::Uri's.
