    var urlParseRE = /^(((([^:\/#\?]+:)?(?:(\/\/)((?:(([^:@\/#\?]+)(?:\:([^:@\/#\?]+))?)@)?(([^:\/#\?\]\[]+|\[[^\/\]@#?]+\])(?:\:([0-9]+))?))?)?)?((\/?(?:[^\/\?#]+\/+)*)([^\?#]*)))?(\?[^#]+)?)(#.*)?/;
    var parser = document.createElement('a');
    var url = "http://jblas:[email protected]:8080/mail/inbox?msg=1234&type=unread#msg-content";

var matches = urlParseRE.exec(url);
var hostname1 = matches[11];
var search1 = matches[16];
