Description

In order to support SSL and RDMA connections in cluster updates, and also to be compatible with the "user/passwd@" extension introduced by the new API I propose to extend the C++ URL format as follows:

url = ["amqp:"][ user ["/" password] "@" ] protocol_addr *("," protocol_addr)
protocol_addr = tcp_addr / rmda_addr / ssl_addr / .. others plug-in
tcp_addr = ["tcp:"] host [":" port]
rdma_addr = "rdma:" host [":" port]
ssl_addr = "ssl:" host [":" port]

(Using ABNF notation as per http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5234)

This is backward compatbile with the existing URL format which is from the AMQP 0-10 spec.
