 Hello students!
 
-We want gRPC to be the universal protocol for all computing platforms and

 1. Fix gRPC C-core's URI parser. The current parser does not qualify as a standard parser according to [RFC3986]( https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986). Write test suites to verify this and make changes necessary to make the URI parser compliant.
