module URI
URI
is a module providing classes to handle Uniform Resource Identifiers (RFC2396).
Features¶ ↑
-
Uniform way of handling URIs.
-
Flexibility to introduce custom
URI
schemes. -
Flexibility to have an alternate URI::Parser (or just different patterns and regexp’s).
Basic example¶ ↑
require 'uri' uri = URI("http://foo.com/posts?id=30&limit=5#time=1305298413") #=> #<URI::HTTP http://foo.com/posts?id=30&limit=5#time=1305298413> uri.scheme #=> "http" uri.host #=> "foo.com" uri.path #=> "/posts" uri.query #=> "id=30&limit=5" uri.fragment #=> "time=1305298413" uri.to_s #=> "http://foo.com/posts?id=30&limit=5#time=1305298413"
Adding custom URIs¶ ↑
module URI class RSYNC < Generic DEFAULT_PORT = 873 end register_scheme 'RSYNC', RSYNC end #=> URI::RSYNC URI.scheme_list #=> {"FILE"=>URI::File, "FTP"=>URI::FTP, "HTTP"=>URI::HTTP, # "HTTPS"=>URI::HTTPS, "LDAP"=>URI::LDAP, "LDAPS"=>URI::LDAPS, # "MAILTO"=>URI::MailTo, "RSYNC"=>URI::RSYNC} uri = URI("rsync://rsync.foo.com") #=> #<URI::RSYNC rsync://rsync.foo.com>

Public Class Methods
# File lib/uri/common.rb, line 48 def self.const_missing(const) if value = RFC2396_PARSER.regexp[const] warn "URI::#{const} is obsolete. Use RFC2396_PARSER.regexp[#{const.inspect}] explicitly.", uplevel: 1 if $VERBOSE value else super end end
Like URI.decode_www_form_component
, except that '+'
is preserved.
# File lib/uri/common.rb, line 401 def self.decode_uri_component(str, enc=Encoding::UTF_8) _decode_uri_component(/%\h\h/, str, enc) end
Returns name/value pairs derived from the given string str
, which must be an ASCII string.
The method may be used to decode the body of Net::HTTPResponse
object res
for which res['Content-Type']
is 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
.
The returned data is an array of 2-element subarrays; each subarray is a name/value pair (both are strings). Each returned string has encoding enc
, and has had invalid characters removed via String#scrub
.
A simple example:
URI.decode_www_form('foo=0&bar=1&baz') # => [["foo", "0"], ["bar", "1"], ["baz", ""]]
The returned strings have certain conversions, similar to those performed in URI.decode_www_form_component
:
URI.decode_www_form('f%23o=%2F&b-r=%24&b+z=%40') # => [["f#o", "/"], ["b-r", "$"], ["b z", "@"]]
The given string may contain consecutive separators:
URI.decode_www_form('foo=0&&bar=1&&baz=2') # => [["foo", "0"], ["", ""], ["bar", "1"], ["", ""], ["baz", "2"]]
A different separator may be specified:
URI.decode_www_form('foo=0--bar=1--baz', separator: '--') # => [["foo", "0"], ["bar", "1"], ["baz", ""]]
# File lib/uri/common.rb, line 576 def self.decode_www_form(str, enc=Encoding::UTF_8, separator: '&', use__charset_: false, isindex: false) raise ArgumentError, "the input of #{self.name}.#{__method__} must be ASCII only string" unless str.ascii_only? ary = [] return ary if str.empty? enc = Encoding.find(enc) str.b.each_line(separator) do |string| string.chomp!(separator) key, sep, val = string.partition('=') if isindex if sep.empty? val = key key = +'' end isindex = false end if use__charset_ and key == '_charset_' and e = get_encoding(val) enc = e use__charset_ = false end key.gsub!(/\+|%\h\h/, TBLDECWWWCOMP_) if val val.gsub!(/\+|%\h\h/, TBLDECWWWCOMP_) else val = +'' end ary << [key, val] end ary.each do |k, v| k.force_encoding(enc) k.scrub! v.force_encoding(enc) v.scrub! end ary end
Returns a string decoded from the given URL-encoded string str
.
The given string is first encoded as Encoding::ASCII-8BIT (using String#b
), then decoded (as below), and finally force-encoded to the given encoding enc
.
The returned string:
-
Preserves:
-
Characters
'*'
,'.'
,'-'
, and'_'
. -
Character in ranges
'a'..'z'
,'A'..'Z'
, and'0'..'9'
.
Example:
URI.decode_www_form_component('*.-_azAZ09') # => "*.-_azAZ09"
-
-
Converts:
-
Character
'+'
to character' '
. -
Each “percent notation” to an ASCII character.
Example:
URI.decode_www_form_component('Here+are+some+punctuation+characters%3A+%2C%3B%3F%3A') # => "Here are some punctuation characters: ,;?:"
-
Related: URI.decode_uri_component
(preserves '+'
).
# File lib/uri/common.rb, line 390 def self.decode_www_form_component(str, enc=Encoding::UTF_8) _decode_uri_component(/\+|%\h\h/, str, enc) end
Like URI.encode_www_form_component
, except that ' '
(space) is encoded as '%20'
(instead of '+'
).
# File lib/uri/common.rb, line 396 def self.encode_uri_component(str, enc=nil) _encode_uri_component(/[^*\-.0-9A-Z_a-z]/, TBLENCURICOMP_, str, enc) end
Returns a URL-encoded string derived from the given Enumerable enum
.
The result is suitable for use as form data for an HTTP request whose Content-Type
is 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
.
The returned string consists of the elements of enum
, each converted to one or more URL-encoded strings, and all joined with character '&'
.
Simple examples:
URI.encode_www_form([['foo', 0], ['bar', 1], ['baz', 2]]) # => "foo=0&bar=1&baz=2" URI.encode_www_form({foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}) # => "foo=0&bar=1&baz=2"
The returned string is formed using method URI.encode_www_form_component
, which converts certain characters:
URI.encode_www_form('f#o': '/', 'b-r': '$', 'b z': '@') # => "f%23o=%2F&b-r=%24&b+z=%40"
When enum
is Array-like, each element ele
is converted to a field:
-
If
ele
is an array of two or more elements, the field is formed from its first two elements (and any additional elements are ignored):name = URI.encode_www_form_component(ele[0], enc) value = URI.encode_www_form_component(ele[1], enc) "#{name}=#{value}"
Examples:
URI.encode_www_form([%w[foo bar], %w[baz bat bah]]) # => "foo=bar&baz=bat" URI.encode_www_form([['foo', 0], ['bar', :baz, 'bat']]) # => "foo=0&bar=baz"
-
If
ele
is an array of one element, the field is formed fromele[0]
:URI.encode_www_form_component(ele[0])
Example:
URI.encode_www_form([['foo'], [:bar], [0]]) # => "foo&bar&0"
-
Otherwise the field is formed from
ele
:URI.encode_www_form_component(ele)
Example:
URI.encode_www_form(['foo', :bar, 0]) # => "foo&bar&0"
The elements of an Array-like enum
may be mixture:
URI.encode_www_form([['foo', 0], ['bar', 1, 2], ['baz'], :bat]) # => "foo=0&bar=1&baz&bat"
When enum
is Hash-like, each key
/value
pair is converted to one or more fields:
-
If
value
is Array-convertible, each elementele
invalue
is paired withkey
to form a field:name = URI.encode_www_form_component(key, enc) value = URI.encode_www_form_component(ele, enc) "#{name}=#{value}"
Example:
URI.encode_www_form({foo: [:bar, 1], baz: [:bat, :bam, 2]}) # => "foo=bar&foo=1&baz=bat&baz=bam&baz=2"
-
Otherwise,
key
andvalue
are paired to form a field:name = URI.encode_www_form_component(key, enc) value = URI.encode_www_form_component(value, enc) "#{name}=#{value}"
Example:
URI.encode_www_form({foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}) # => "foo=0&bar=1&baz=2"
The elements of a Hash-like enum
may be mixture:
URI.encode_www_form({foo: [0, 1], bar: 2}) # => "foo=0&foo=1&bar=2"
# File lib/uri/common.rb, line 523 def self.encode_www_form(enum, enc=nil) enum.map do |k,v| if v.nil? encode_www_form_component(k, enc) elsif v.respond_to?(:to_ary) v.to_ary.map do |w| str = encode_www_form_component(k, enc) unless w.nil? str << '=' str << encode_www_form_component(w, enc) end end.join('&') else str = encode_www_form_component(k, enc) str << '=' str << encode_www_form_component(v, enc) end end.join('&') end
Returns a URL-encoded string derived from the given string str
.
The returned string:
-
Preserves:
-
Characters
'*'
,'.'
,'-'
, and'_'
. -
Character in ranges
'a'..'z'
,'A'..'Z'
, and'0'..'9'
.
Example:
URI.encode_www_form_component('*.-_azAZ09') # => "*.-_azAZ09"
-
-
Converts:
-
Character
' '
to character'+'
. -
Any other character to “percent notation”; the percent notation for character c is
'%%%X' % c.ord
.
Example:
URI.encode_www_form_component('Here are some punctuation characters: ,;?:') # => "Here+are+some+punctuation+characters%3A+%2C%3B%3F%3A"
-
Encoding:
-
If
str
has encoding Encoding::ASCII_8BIT, argumentenc
is ignored. -
Otherwise
str
is converted first to Encoding::UTF_8 (with suitable character replacements), and then to encodingenc
.
In either case, the returned string has forced encoding Encoding::US_ASCII.

as '%20'
).
# File lib/uri/common.rb, line 357 def self.encode_www_form_component(str, enc=nil) _encode_uri_component(/[^*\-.0-9A-Z_a-z]/, TBLENCWWWCOMP_, str, enc) end
Returns a new object constructed from the given scheme
, arguments
, and default
:
-
The new object is an instance of
URI.scheme_list[scheme.upcase]
. -
The object is initialized by calling the class initializer using
scheme
andarguments
. SeeURI::Generic.new
.
Examples:
values = ['john.doe', 'www.example.com', '123', nil, '/forum/questions/', nil, 'tag=networking&order=newest', 'top'] URI.for('https', *values) # => #<URI::HTTPS https://john.doe@www.example.com:123/forum/questions/?tag=networking&order=newest#top> URI.for('foo', *values, default: URI::HTTP) # => #<URI::HTTP foo://john.doe@www.example.com:123/forum/questions/?tag=networking&order=newest#top>
# File lib/uri/common.rb, line 145 def self.for(scheme, *arguments, default: Generic) const_name = scheme.to_s.upcase uri_class = INITIAL_SCHEMES[const_name] uri_class ||= if /\A[A-Z]\w*\z/.match?(const_name) && Schemes.const_defined?(const_name, false) Schemes.const_get(const_name, false) end uri_class ||= default return uri_class.new(scheme, *arguments) end
Merges the given URI
strings str
per RFC 2396.
Each string in str
is converted to an RFC3986 URI before being merged.
Examples:
URI.join("http://example.com/","main.rbx") # => #<URI::HTTP http://example.com/main.rbx> URI.join('http://example.com', 'foo') # => #<URI::HTTP http://example.com/foo> URI.join('http://example.com', '/foo', '/bar') # => #<URI::HTTP http://example.com/bar> URI.join('http://example.com', '/foo', 'bar') # => #<URI::HTTP http://example.com/bar> URI.join('http://example.com', '/foo/', 'bar') # => #<URI::HTTP http://example.com/foo/bar>
# File lib/uri/common.rb, line 233 def self.join(*str) DEFAULT_PARSER.join(*str) end
Allows the opening of various resources including URIs.
If the first argument responds to the ‘open’ method, ‘open’ is called on it with the rest of the arguments.
If the first argument is a string that begins with (protocol)://
, it is parsed by URI.parse
. If the parsed object responds to the ‘open’ method, ‘open’ is called on it with the rest of the arguments.
Otherwise, Kernel#open
is called.
OpenURI::OpenRead#open
provides URI::HTTP#open
, URI::HTTPS#open
and URI::FTP#open
, Kernel#open
.
We can accept URIs and strings that begin with http://, https:// and ftp://. In these cases, the opened file object is extended by OpenURI::Meta
.
# File lib/open-uri.rb, line 23 def self.open(name, *rest, &block) if name.respond_to?(:open) name.open(*rest, &block) elsif name.respond_to?(:to_str) && %r{\A[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9+\-\.]*://} =~ name && (uri = URI.parse(name)).respond_to?(:open) uri.open(*rest, &block) else super end end
Returns a new URI object constructed from the given string uri
:
URI.parse('https://john.doe@www.example.com:123/forum/questions/?tag=networking&order=newest#top') # => #<URI::HTTPS https://john.doe@www.example.com:123/forum/questions/?tag=networking&order=newest#top> URI.parse('http://john.doe@www.example.com:123/forum/questions/?tag=networking&order=newest#top') # => #<URI::HTTP http://john.doe@www.example.com:123/forum/questions/?tag=networking&order=newest#top>
It’s recommended to first ::escape string uri
if it may contain invalid URI
characters.

Registers the given klass
as the class to be instantiated when parsing a URI with the given scheme
:
URI.register_scheme('MS_SEARCH', URI::Generic) # => URI::Generic URI.scheme_list['MS_SEARCH'] # => URI::Generic
Note that after calling String#upcase
on scheme
, it must be a valid constant name.
# File lib/uri/common.rb, line 101 def self.register_scheme(scheme, klass) Schemes.const_set(scheme.to_s.upcase, klass) end
Returns a hash of the defined schemes:
URI.scheme_list # => {"MAILTO"=>URI::MailTo, "LDAPS"=>URI::LDAPS, "WS"=>URI::WS, "HTTP"=>URI::HTTP, "HTTPS"=>URI::HTTPS, "LDAP"=>URI::LDAP, "FILE"=>URI::File, "FTP"=>URI::FTP}

.
# File lib/uri/common.rb, line 119 def self.scheme_list Schemes.constants.map { |name| [name.to_s.upcase, Schemes.const_get(name)] }.to_h end
Returns a 9-element array representing the parts of the URI formed from the string uri
; each array element is a string or nil
:
names = %w[scheme userinfo host port registry path opaque query fragment] values = URI.split('https://john.doe@www.example.com:123/forum/questions/?tag=networking&order=newest#top') names.zip(values) # => [["scheme", "https"], ["userinfo", "john.doe"], ["host", "www.example.com"], ["port", "123"], ["registry", nil], ["path", "/forum/questions/"], ["opaque", nil], ["query", "tag=networking&order=newest"], ["fragment", "top"]]
