urld
URL handling for D
Motivation
D's standard library has nothing for working with URLs.
Vibe.d can work with URLs. However, Vibe is big. Also, we want to work easily with query strings, which vibe.d doesn't allow.
Status
There are some convenience accessors to add.
No backwards-incompatible changes are planned.
Installation
Add "urld": "~>2.0.1" to your dub.json.
Usage
Parse a URL:
auto url = "ircs://irc.freenode.com/#d".parseURL;Construct one from scratch, laboriously:
URL url;
with (url) {
scheme = "soap.beep";
host = "beep.example.net";
port = 1772;
path = "/serverinfo/info";
queryParams.add("token", "my-api-token");
}
curl.get(url);Unicode domain names:
auto url = "http://☃.com/".parseURL;
writeln(url.toString); // http://xn--n3h.com/
writeln(url.toHumanReadableString); // http://☃.com/Implicit conversion to strings for use with other libraries that expect URLs as strings:
import std.net.curl;
auto couchdbURL = "http://couch.local:8815".parseURL;
writeln(get(couchdbURL ~ "users/[email protected]"));Autodetect ports:
assert(parseURL("http://example.org").port == 80);
assert(parseURL("http://example.org:5326").port == 5326);URLs of maximum complexity:
auto url = parseURL("redis://admin:[email protected]:2201/path?query=value#fragment");
assert(url.scheme == "redis");
assert(url.user == "admin");
assert(url.pass == "password");
// etcURLs of minimum complexity:
assert(parseURL("example.org").toString == "http://example.org/");Canonicalization:
assert(parseURL("http://example.org:80").toString == "http://example.org/");
