I've partially fixed this bug. Whitespace trimming is no longer performed on 
the string containing the authority. Whitespace isn't allowed in the authority 
portion by the spec, even if it is escaped.

It's questionable whether leading and trailing whitespace should be trimmed 
from the ends of the URI string (as is currently done). Strictly speaking, if 
the URI contains a scheme, leading whitespace even if escaped isn't allowed. If 
there's trailing whitespace, trimming it hides the fact that it needs to be 
escaped. It might also be significant to the user.
