class URI

Overview

This class represents a URI reference as defined by [RFC 3986: Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt).

This class provides constructors for creating URI instances from their components or by parsing their string forms and methods for accessing the various components of an instance.

Basic example:

require "uri"

uri = URI.parse "http://foo.com/posts?id=30&limit=5#time=1305298413"
# => #<URI:0x1003f1e40 @scheme="http", @host="foo.com", @port=nil, @path="/posts", @query="id=30&limit=5", ... >
uri.scheme
# => "http"
uri.host
# => "foo.com"
uri.query
# => "id=30&limit=5"
uri.to_s
# => "http://foo.com/posts?id=30&limit=5#time=1305298413"

Class Method Detail

def self.escape(string : String, space_to_plus = false) : String #

URL-encode a string.

If space_to_plus is true, it replace space character (0x20) to '+' and '+' is encoded to '%2B'. e.g. application/x-www-form-urlencoded want this replace.

URI.escape("'Stop!' said Fred")                      #=> "%27Stop%21%27%20said%20Fred"
URI.escape("'Stop!' said Fred", space_to_plus: true) #=> "%27Stop%21%27+said+Fred"

[View source]
def self.escape(string : String, io : IO, space_to_plus = false) #

URL-encode a string and write the result to an IO.


[View source]
def self.escape(string : String, space_to_plus = false, &block) : String #

URL-encode a string.

This method requires block, the block is called with each characters whose code is less than 0x80. The characters that block returns true are not escaped, other characters are escaped.

# Escape URI path
URI.escape("/foo/file?(1).txt") do |byte|
  URI.unreserved?(byte) || byte.chr == '/'
end
#=> "/foo/file%3F%281%29.txt"

[View source]
def self.escape(string : String, io : IO, space_to_plus = false, &block) #

URL-encode a string and write the result to an IO.

This method requires block.


[View source]
def self.parse(raw_url : String) : URI #

Parses raw_url into an URI. The raw_url may be relative or absolute.

require 

[View source]
def self.reserved?(byte) : Bool #

Returns whether given byte is reserved character defined in RFC 3986.

Reserved characters are ':', '/', '?', '#', '[', ']', '@', '!', '$', '&', "'", '(', ')', '*', '+', ',', ';' and '='.


[View source]
def self.unescape(string : String, plus_to_space = false, &block) : String #

URL-decode a string.

This method requires block, the block is called with each bytes whose is less than 0x80. The bytes that block returns true are not unescaped, other characters are unescaped.


[View source]
def self.unescape(string : String, io : IO, plus_to_space = false) #

URL-decode a string and write the result to an IO.


[View source]
def self.unescape(string : String, io : IO, plus_to_space = false, &block) #

URL-decode a string and write the result to an IO.

This method requires block.


[View source]
def self.unescape(string : String, plus_to_space = false) : String #

URL-decode a string.

If plus_to_space is true, it replace plus character (0x2B) to ' '. e.g. application/x-www-form-urlencoded wants this replace.

URI.unescape("%27Stop%21%27%20said%20Fred")                  #=> "'Stop!' said Fred"
URI.unescape("%27Stop%21%27+said+Fred", plus_to_space: true) #=> "'Stop!' said Fred"

[View source]
def self.unescape_one(string, bytesize, i, byte, char, io, plus_to_space = false, &block) #

:nodoc: Unescapes one character. Private API


[View source]
def self.unreserved?(byte) : Bool #

Returns whether given byte is unreserved character defined in RFC 3986.

Unreserved characters are alphabet, digit, '_', '.', '-', '~'.
