Description
"APR::URI" allows you to parse URI strings, manipulate each of the URI
elements and deparse them back into URIs.
All "APR::URI" object accessors accept a string or an "undef" value as
an argument. Same goes for return value. It's important to distinguish
between an empty string and "undef". For example let's say your code
was:
my $uri = 'http://example.com/foo?bar#item5';
my $parsed = APR::URI->parse($r->pool, $uri);
Now you no longer want to the query and fragment components in the
final url. If you do:
$parsed->fragment('');
$parsed->query('');
followed by:
my $new_uri = parsed->unparse;
the resulting URI will be:
http://example.com/foo?#
which is probably not something that you've expected. In order to get
rid of the separators, you must completely unset the fields you don't
want to see. So, if you do:
$parsed->fragment(undef);
$parsed->query(undef);
followed by:
my $new_uri = parsed->unparse;
the resulting URI will be:
http://example.com/foo
As mentioned earlier the same goes for return values, so continuing
this example:
my $new_fragment = $parsed->fragment();
my $new_query = $parsed->query();
Both values now contain "undef", therefore you must be careful when
using the return values, when you use them, as you may get warnings.
Also make sure you read through "the unparse() section" as various
optional flags affect how the deparsed URI is rendered.
API
"APR::URI" provides the following functions and/or methods:
"fragment"
Get/set trailing "#fragment" string
$oldval = $parsed->fragment($newval);
obj: $parsed ( "APR::URI object" )
opt arg1: $newval ( string or undef )
ret: $oldval ( string or undef )
since: 2.0.00
"hostinfo"
Get/set combined "[user[:password]@]host[:port]"
$oldval = $parsed->hostinfo($newval);
obj: $parsed ( "APR::URI object" )
opt arg1: $newval ( string or undef )
ret: $oldval ( string or undef )
since: 2.0.00
The "hostinfo" value is set automatically when "parse()" is called.
It's not updated if any of the individual fields is modified.
It's not used when "unparse()" is called.
"hostname"
Get/set hostname
$oldval = $parsed->hostname($newval);
obj: $parsed ( "APR::URI object" )
opt arg1: $newval ( string or undef )
ret: $oldval ( string or undef )
since: 2.0.00
"password"
Get/set password (as in http://user:password@host:port/)
$oldval = $parsed->password($newval);
obj: $parsed ( "APR::URI object" )
opt arg1: $newval ( string or undef )
ret: $oldval ( string or undef )
since: 2.0.00
"parse"
Parse the URI string into URI components
$parsed = APR::URI->parse($pool, $uri);
obj: $parsed ( "APR::URI object or class" )
arg1: $pool ( string ) ( "APR::Pool object" )
arg2: $uri ( string )
The URI to parse
ret: $parsed ( "APR::URI object or class" )
The parsed URI object
since: 2.0.00
After parsing, if a component existed but was an empty string (e.g.
empty query http://hostname/path?) -- the corresponding accessor will
return an empty string. If a component didn't exist (e.g. no query part
http://hostname/path) -- the corresponding accessor will return
"undef".
"path"
Get/set the request path
$oldval = $parsed->path($newval);
obj: $parsed ( "APR::URI object" )
opt arg1: $newval ( string or undef )
ret: $oldval ( string or undef )
"/" if only "scheme://host"
since: 2.0.00
"rpath"
Gets the "path" minus the "path_info"
$rpath = $parsed->rpath();
obj: $parsed ( "APR::URI object" )
opt arg1: $newval ( string or undef )
ret: $oldval ( string or undef )
The path minus the path_info
since: 2.0.00
"port"
Get/set port number
$oldval = $parsed->port($newval);
obj: $parsed ( "APR::URI object" )
opt arg1: $newval ( number or string or undef )
ret: $oldval ( string or undef )
If the port component didn't appear in the parsed URI, APR
internally calls "port_of_scheme()" to find out the port number for
the given "scheme()".
since: 2.0.00
"port_of_scheme"
Return the default port for a given scheme. The recognized schemes are
http, ftp, https, gopher, wais, nntp, snews and prospero.
$port = APR::URI::port_of_scheme($scheme);
obj: $scheme ( string )
The scheme string
ret: $port (integer)
The default port for this scheme
since: 2.0.00
"query"
Get/set the query string (the part starting after '?' and all the way
till the end or the '#fragment' part if the latter exists).
$oldval = $parsed->query($newval);
obj: $parsed ( "APR::URI object" )
opt arg1: $newval ( string or undef )
ret: $oldval ( string or undef )
since: 2.0.00
"scheme"
Get/set the protocol scheme ("http", "ftp", ...)
$oldval = $parsed->scheme($newval);
obj: $parsed ( "APR::URI object" )
opt arg1: $newval ( string or undef )
ret: $oldval ( string or undef )
since: 2.0.00
"user"
Get/set user name (as in http://user:password@host:port/)
$oldval = $parsed->user($newval);
obj: $parsed ( "APR::URI object" )
opt arg1: $newval ( string or undef )
ret: $oldval ( string or undef )
since: 2.0.00
"unparse"
Unparse the URI components back into a URI string
$new_uri = $parsed->unparse();
$new_uri = $parsed->unparse($flags);
obj: $parsed ( "APR::URI object" )
opt arg1: $flags ( the APR::Const :uri constants )
By default the constant "APR::Const::URI_UNP_OMITPASSWORD" is
passed.
If you need to pass more than one flag use unary "|", e.g.:
$flags = APR::Const::URI_UNP_OMITUSER|APR::Const::URI_UNP_OMITPASSWORD;
The valid "flags" constants are listed next
ret: $new_uri ( string )
since: 2.0.00
Valid "flags" constants:
To import all URI constants you could do:
use APR::Const -compile => qw(:uri);
but there is a significant amount of them, most irrelevant to this
method. Therefore you probably don't want to do that. Instead specify
explicitly the ones that you need. All the relevant to this method
constants start with "APR::URI_UNP_".
And the available constants are:
"APR::Const::URI_UNP_OMITSITEPART"
Don't show "scheme", "user", "password", "hostname" and "port"
components (i.e. if you want only the relative URI)
"APR::Const::URI_UNP_OMITUSER"
Hide the "user" component
"APR::Const::URI_UNP_OMITPASSWORD"
Hide the "password" component (the default)
"APR::Const::URI_UNP_REVEALPASSWORD"
Reveal the "password" component
"APR::Const::URI_UNP_OMITPATHINFO"
Don't show "path", "query" and "fragment" components
"APR::Const::URI_UNP_OMITQUERY"
Don't show "query" and "fragment" components
Notice that some flags overlap.
If the optional $flags argument is passed and contains no
"APR::Const::URI_UNP_OMITPASSWORD" and no
"APR::Const::URI_UNP_REVEALPASSWORD" -- the "password" part will be
rendered as a literal "XXXXXXXX" string.
If the "port" number matches the "port_of_scheme()", the unparsed URI
won't include it and there is no flag to force that "port" to appear.
If the "port" number is non-standard it will show up in the unparsed
string.
Examples:
Starting with the parsed URL:
use APR::URI ();
my $url = 'http://user:pass@example.com:80/foo?bar#item5';
my $parsed = APR::URI->parse($r->pool, $url);
deparse it back including and excluding parts, using different values
for the optional "flags" argument:
o Show all but the "password" fields:
print $parsed->unparse;
Prints:
http://user@example.com/foo?bar#item5
Notice that the "port" field is gone too, since it was a default
"port" for "scheme" "http://".
o Include the "password" field (by default it's not revealed)
use APR::Const -compile => qw(URI_UNP_REVEALPASSWORD);
print $parsed->unparse(APR::Const::URI_UNP_REVEALPASSWORD);
Prints:
http://user:pass@example.com/foo?bar#item5
o Show all fields but the last three, "path", "query" and "fragment":
use APR::Const -compile => qw(URI_UNP_REVEALPASSWORD
APR::Const::URI_UNP_OMITPATHINFO);
print $parsed->unparse(
APR::Const::URI_UNP_REVEALPASSWORD|URI_UNP_OMITPATHINFO);
Prints:
http://user:pass@example.com
