Parse a URL with memoization.
Parse the original URL of the given request object and return the result. This works by trying to parse req.originalUrl
if it is a string, otherwise parses req.url
. The result is the same as url.parse
in Node.js core. Calling this function multiple times on the same req
where req.originalUrl
does not change will return a cached parsed object, rather than parsing again.
