";
	   }

DESCRIPTION

   $RE{URI}{POP}

			 host [ ":" port ]

       Under "{-keep}", the following are returned:

       $1  The complete URI.

       $2  The scheme.

       $3  The user, if given.

       $4  The authentication type, if given (could be a *).

       $5  The host.

       $6  The port, if given.
