title: split url in url and path, VB.NET
body: <p>i have an application where users submit URL's. these urls may be anything, a few examples are here:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ftp://ftp.mysite.com
  ftp.mysiste.com
  mysite.com
  mysite.de
  ftp.mysite.it/somepath/somotherfolder
  ftp://ftp.anysiste.com/
  ftp://ftp.anysiste.org/somefolder/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>i need to split these sites in the URL and the PATH. here is the result of the above:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ftp.mysite.com ---- /
  ftp.mysiste.com ---- /
  mysite.com ---- /
  mysite.de ---- /
  ftp.mysite.it ---- /somepath/somotherfolder
  ftp.anysiste.com ---- /
  ftp.anysiste.org ---- /somefolder/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>is there a safe way to split these like this? or do i have to make it via search/split functions?</p>
