http_uri URI utility module

This module provides utility functions for working with URIs, according to RFC 3986.

COMMON DATA TYPES

Type definitions that are used more than once in this module:

URI DATA TYPES

Type definitions that are related to URI:

For more information about URI, see RFC 3986.

scheme_defaults() -> SchemeDefaults A list of scheme and their default ports SchemeDefaults = [{scheme(), default_scheme_port_number()}] default_scheme_port_number() = pos_integer()

This function provides a list of the scheme and their default port numbers currently supported (by default) by this utility.

parse(URI) -> {ok, Result} | {error, Reason} parse(URI, Options) -> {ok, Result} | {error, Reason} Parse an URI URI = uri() Options = [Option] Option = {ipv6_host_with_brackets, boolean()} | {scheme_defaults, scheme_defaults()} | {fragment, boolean()}] Result = {Scheme, UserInfo, Host, Port, Path, Query} | {Scheme, UserInfo, Host, Port, Path, Query, Fragment} UserInfo = user_info() Host = host() Port = pos_integer() Path = path() Query = query() Fragment = fragment() Reason = term()

This function is used to parse an URI. If no scheme defaults are provided, the value of scheme_defaults function will be used.

Note that when parsing an URI with an unknown scheme (that is, a scheme not found in the scheme defaults) a port number must be provided or else the parsing will fail.

If the fragment option is true, the URI fragment will be returned as part of the parsing result, otherwise it is completely ignored.

 encode(URI) -> HexEncodedURI Hex encode an URI URI = uri() HexEncodedURI = string() - Hex encoded uri

Hex encode an URI.

decode(HexEncodedURI) -> URI Decode a hex encoded URI HexEncodedURI = string() - A possibly hex encoded uri URI = uri()

Decode a possibly hex encoded URI.
