Agreed. Gunter appears to cover most of the bases here. Nice to see a 
treatment that includes IPv6.

To carry out on ths work, I have implemented a HTTP protocol engine
and I am able to extract a complete URL string. This I am doing
using C++/Unix environment.

What does that mean? What does "extract" mean? And how is this 
different from any other regexp that matches URI schemes (of which 
there are many of varying quality)? What are you extracting from? 
HTTP headers?

Now my question is, I would like to know if there are some
libraries exisiting using which I can decode the captured URLs. I
wish to use the library (preferably in C/C++) and then proceed to
find the attack patterns in them.

Here's where you're starting to get on my nerves. A quick google 
search turns up TONS of urldecoding/encoding routines (again, of 
varying quality). I've you've already searched through these, please 
mention which you've looked at before requesting blankly that the 
members of this list do the most basic research imagineable for you.

Can any one provide some links/references....
