- Download reliably code from HTTP and FTP sources using a URL as input
- Download reliably code from version control systems (VCS) such as git, hg, svn in a pluggable way.
- Return information about a URL (possibly by making API calls). For instance, given a GitHub/Bitbucket/Npm/Pypi/Cargo/Rubygems URL we should get details about the list of tags and versions. Or get details from a package using a PURL as an input by querying a package registry API.

- Be smart about URLs and provide ways to fix and resolve URLs. There is a basic feature in the Package URL Python library to get a PURL from a URL (See https://github.com/package-url/packageurl-python/blob/master/src/packageurl/contrib/url2purl.py ). This should be enhanced and furthered there and in ScanCode such that given a URL we can get a PURL, or given a Git/GitHub/Gitlab/Bitbucket URL we can get a normalized download URL.
- Also able to convert URLs of type Github,Bitbucket and Gitlab to PURLs

I want to thank Google and Aboutcode for giving me this opportunity to work with such an amazing community. I am blessed to have mentors (Philippe Ombredanne and Steven Esser) for helping me throughout the summer and help me to learn how to write production level code!
