[Mediawiki-l] Make a Title object from URL

[Paul Grinberg]

Hello, 

I am writing an extension where the user can pass in either a wiki title 
(i.e. "Some page", "Category:Something") or a full URL 
(i.e. "http://my.domain.com/prefix/Some_page", "http://my.domain.com/prefix/Category:Something").

I would like to be able to take the user's input in either form and get a Title 
object out of it. I can process the user input in regular wiki title form by 
using newFromText() method, but I cannot figure out how to do the same for the 
URL method (newFromURL() method does not seem to work). The idea is that 
regardless of what input format the user provides, I should be able to get the 
proper wiki Title for the page.
