Resolve an XRI to a LocalAccess URL or an XRIAuthority Descriptor

The XRI Resolver Library resolves an XRI to a LocalAccess URL or an XRIAuthority Descriptor. It can also be used to actually fetch the data at the LocalAccess URL.

These strings are returned via die() so trap them by running library calls within an eval{} block $@ will be set to the error code, if any.

    RelativePathNotXRIAuthority for passed service or type
    URIAuthorityNotXRIAuthority for passed service or type
    UnknownAuthority: $subseg
    NoDescriptorXML for $url
    MalformedXRIDescriptor for $url
    NoLocalAccessFound for XRI $self->{xri}

• Doesn't handle multiple LocalAccess URIs
• Doesn't parse cross references properly
