class URI

Overview

This class represents a URI reference as defined by RFC 3986: Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax.

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"

def self.parse(raw_url : String) : URI #

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

require "uri"

uri = URI.parse("http://crystal-lang.org") # => #<URI:0x1068a7e40 @scheme="http", @host="crystal-lang.org", ... >
uri.scheme                                 # => "http"
uri.host                                   # => "crystal-lang.org"

Class Method Detail

def self.default_port(scheme : String) : Int32? #

Returns the default port for the given scheme if known, otherwise returns nil.

URI.default_port "http"  # => 80
URI.default_port "ponzi" # => nil

[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) : 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, &block) #

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

This method requires block.


[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.reserved?(byte) : Bool #

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

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


[View source]
def self.set_default_port(scheme : String, port : Int32?) : Nil #

Registers the default port for the given scheme.

If port is nil, the existing default port for the scheme, if any, will be unregistered.

URI.set_default_port "ponzi", 9999

[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, 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(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, &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_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, '_', '.', '-', '~'.
