Data URI scheme parsing

[s-celles]

Hello,

I wonder if URIs can parse data URI scheme ie https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2397

An example can be found here

https://gist.githubusercontent.com/scls19fr/8d2330ae8c2ded145c80b1650500bed2/raw/90373199aaa65581b7919f34c568562c9641c5d4/sample_img.jl

Kind regards

PS : related issue might be JuliaLang/Downloads.jl#122
RegExp that could be used https://gist.github.com/khanzadimahdi/bab8a3416bdb764b9eda5b38b35735b8

We don't currently support this, but PRs are always welcome!

Let's first discuss of the scope of such a PR.

Do you have an API idea?
Can/should I use some dependencies?

Can I use for example MIMEs.jl ?
Should I create a separated module? (or maybe should such a contribution be in a separate repository?)

Should we return image from Images.jl if mimetype is for example image/jpeg (same for other kind of mimetype) or do we simply return base64 encoded data?

Do we also accept creating data uri from file as python-datauri is doing ?

I opened a PR #59 to have a discussion about implementation details.
