Construct builds a URL string of the given components.

The URL will be of the form: scheme://user:password@host:port/urlpath?query#anchor

The following components are supported:

scheme=string The protocol to be used.  The default is http.

user=string The username to be used.  The default is none.

password=string The password to be used.  The default is none.

host=string The host portion.  This component is required.

port=integer The port on the host to connect to.  The default is none.

urlpath=string The path on the host to access.  The default is /.

query=list(string,equation) Query data to be added to the URL.  The default is none.

anchor=string An anchor to add to the URL.  The default is none.

These components can be specified as parameters or a table of component/value pairs.  A component specified as a parameter will override one specified in a table.

The Parse method performs the reverse operation, splitting a given URL into a table of components.
