soup-for-pharo's Issues

[Port]: Pharo 10 - Missing `String>>#convertForWithConverter:`

Asked on Pharo Discord:

What is the replacement for String>>#convertForWithConverter:, which has been removed in P10? Soup was using it and I'm not sure how to translate to the new Zn-based encoders. Naively, I tried just restoring the method in P10, but:

aByteString convertFromWithConverter: aZnSimplifiedEncoder "latin1 strict"

led to the error pictured...

ZnUrl>>#asUrl in Pharo 5

We used to add it as an extension method, which now makes Zinc dirty.

SoupParser does not handle uppercase closing tags correctly

Method SoupParser>>parseStartTag converts the tag that it read to lowercase. Method SoupParser>>handleEndTag does not do this, which causes SoupParser>>numPops to not find the opening tag in the tagStack.

If you need an example, the following snippet does not parse the HTML page correctly:

page := ZnClient new get: 'http://elib.zib.de/pub/mp-testdata/tsp/tsplib/tsp/index.html'.
"uncomment the following line to correctly parse the page"
"page := page asLowercase." 
soup := Soup fromString: page.

Usually I would make a pull request for this, but (1) I am relatively new to Smalltalk and (2) I have never worked with the Pharo GitHub integration.
