Does R have any package for parsing out the parts of a URL?

Question

I have a list of urls that I would like to parse and normalize.

I\'d like to be able to split each address into parts so that I can identify \"www.google.com/test/in

You can use the function of the R package httr

 parse_url(url) 
 >parse_url("http://google.com/")

You can get more details here: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/httr/httr.pdf
