Description:
------------
When passing a very long URL string to the http\Url constructor, very strange behaviour was observed. It seems like something is writing past the end of a buffer?

The original observation from an actual application was that URLs with short query strings (< 200 characters) were behaving normally, URLs with medium-sized query strings had junk data in $url->query and URLs with large query strings (1000+ characters) had nothing in $url->query.

Furthermore, the resulting object (with a URL containing more than 200 characters or so) exhibited strange behaviour: reading $url->path while within the same method that created the http\Url object was fine, but passing the object as a parameter to a different method would result in incorrect data being read.

No errors or exceptions.

I ran a quick test script, and it seems that there is a breakdown when the protocol + host + path + query component is longer than 192 characters. Playing around with the different URL parts gave me different results.

Upgraded pecl_http to 2.2.0 from 2.1.4. This bug was NOT observed in 2.1.4. Built from PECL sources with libz 1.2.8, libcurl 7.38.0, libevent 2.0.21.

Test script:
---------------
for($i = 1; $i < 1000; $i++) {
    echo $i, "|", ($i + 24), PHP_EOL;
    $url = new \http\Url("http://www.example.com/?" . str_repeat("a", $i));
    echo $url->query, PHP_EOL, PHP_EOL;
}

Expected result:
----------------
1|25
a

2|26
aa

... snip ...

168|192
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

169|193
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

... snip ...

Actual result:
--------------
1|25
a

2|26
aa

... snip ...

168|192
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
