Classpublic class BrowserLocationUtil

Class is a utility class that provides a mix of functionaltity from Flex's BrowserManager and URLUtil classes. The goal of the class is to give an application a mechinism to query the browser's current url (like one can with BrowserManager), but without leveraging the history managment system that flex provides. This allows application that do not include history.js a way to retreive the current runtime url and parse all the various parts pieces. Below is a breakdown of a typical url and all the properties one can access.
