  This is the service that an application developer will directly interact with.
  
  Responsible for normalizing the URL against the application's base href.
  A normalized URL is absolute from the URL host, includes the application's base href, and has no
  trailing slash:
  - `/my/app/user/123` is normalized
  - `my/app/user/123` **is not** normalized
  - `/my/app/user/123/` **is not** normalized
