uri_string weird inconsistency

[Peter Dimitrov]

Hi,


This is a bug in the type spec and as far as I see the catch is unnecessary
in uri_string:normalize/1 as exceptions are already caught in all other
functions that are called by normalize.

The intended behavior is to always return an error tuple in case of an
error.

Hello,



Why does uri_string:normalize/1 catch a throw and return an error tuple,
but uri_string:normalize/2 does not? Both are documented functions and this
behavior difference is not documented, besides the 2-arity not having
error() as a returned type:

Is this an oversight perhaps?



Cheers,
