Comment

Normalizes urls into a $uriTemplate. If no template is provided
a default one will be used. Will generate the url using the
current config information.

### Usage:

After configuring part of the request parameters, you can use url() to generate
urls.

{{{
$http->configUri('http://www.cakephp.org');
$url = $http->url('/search?q=bar');
}}}

Would return `http://www.cakephp.org/search?q=bar`

url() can also be used with custom templates:

`$url = $http->url('http://www.cakephp/search?q=socket', '/%path?%query');`

Would return `/search?q=socket`.

@param mixed $url Either a string or array of url options to create a url with.
@param string $uriTemplate A template string to use for url formatting.
@return mixed Either false on failure or a string containing the composed url.
