uri Class
A flexible, protocol independent uri implementation. URI instances are immutable. Querying the various fields on an emtpy uri will return empty strings. Querying various diagnostic members on an empty uri will return false.

Public Classes
Name |
Description |
---|---|
The various components of a URI. This enum is used to indicate which URI component is being encoded to the encode_uri_component. This allows specific encoding to be performed. Scheme and port don't allow '%' so they don't need to be encoded. |

Public Methods
Name |
Description |
---|---|
Creates a new uri object with the same authority portion as this one, omitting the resource and query portions. |
|
Decodes an encoded string. |
|
Encodes a string by converting all characters except for RFC 3986 unreserved characters to their hexadecimal representation. |
|
Encodes a URI component according to RFC 3986. Note if a full URI is specified instead of an individual URI component all characters not in the unreserved set are escaped. |
|
Get the fragment component of the URI as an encoded string. |
|
Returns whether the other uri has the same authority as this one |
|
Get the host component of the URI as an encoded string. |
|
An "authority" uri is one with only a scheme, optional userinfo, hostname, and (optional) port. |
|
An empty uri specifies no components, and serves as a default value |
|
A loopback URI is one which refers to a hostname or ip address with meaning only on the local machine. |
|
A portable URI is one with a hostname that can be resolved globally (used from another machine). |
|
A wildcard URI is one which refers to all hostnames that resolve to the local machine (using the * or +) |
|
Returns whether the path portion of this uri is empty |
|
Get the path component of the URI as an encoded string. |
|
Get the port component of the URI. Returns -1 if no port is specified. |
|
Get the query component of the URI as an encoded string. |
|
Gets the path, query, and fragment portion of this uri, which may be empty. |
|
Get the scheme component of the URI as an encoded string. |
|
Splits a path into its hierarchical components. |
|
Splits a query into its key-value components. |
|
Returns the full (encoded) uri as a string. |
|
Get the user information component of the URI as an encoded string. |
|
Validates a string as a uri. |

Remarks
This implementation accepts both uris ('https://msn.com/path') and uri relative-references ('/path?query#frag'). This implementation does not provide any scheme-specific handling -- an example of this would be the following: 'http://path1/path'. This is a valid uri, but it's not a valid http-uri -- that is, it's syntactically correct but does not conform to the requirements of the http scheme (http requires a host). We could provide this by allowing a pluggable 'scheme' policy-class, which would provide extra capability for validating and canonicalizing a uri according to scheme, and would introduce a layer of type-safety for uris of differing schemes, and thus differing semantics. One issue with implementing a scheme-independent uri facility is that of comparing for equality. For instance, these uris are considered equal 'https://msn.com', 'https://msn.com:80'. That is -- the 'default' port can be either omitted or explicit. Since we don't have a way to map a scheme to it's default port, we don't have a way to know these are equal. This is just one of a class of issues with regard to scheme-specific behavior.
