/**
 * This class helps to handle URLs of hyperlinks and change their parameters.
 * For example a javascript-page may open an item and the user expects other links
 * on the same page to "know" that this item is now open. But because we don't use
 * PHP session-variables here, this is difficult to use. This class can help. You
 * can overwrite the href-attribute of the link by:
 *
 *  [code]
 *  link.href = STUDIP.URLHelper.getURL("adresse.php?hello=world#anchor");
 *  [/code]
 * Returns something like:
 * "http://uni-adresse.de/studip/adresse.php?hello=world&mandatory=parameter#anchor"
