Synopsis

  use Apache2::URI ();
  
  $hostport = $r->construct_server();
  $hostport = $r->construct_server($hostname);
  $hostport = $r->construct_server($hostname, $port);
  $hostport = $r->construct_server($hostname, $port, $pool);
  
  $url = $r->construct_url();
  $url = $r->construct_url($rel_uri);
  $url = $r->construct_url($rel_uri, $pool);
  
  $parsed_uri = $r->parse_uri($uri);
  
  $parsed_uri = $r->parsed_uri();
  
  $url = join '%20', qw(one two three);
  Apache2::URI::unescape_url($url);

Description

While APR::URI provides a generic API to dissect, adjust and put together any given URI string, Apache2::URI provides an API specific to Apache, by taking the information directly from the $r object. Therefore when manipulating the URI of the current HTTP request usually methods from both classes are used.



TOP

API

Apache2::URI provides the following functions and methods:



TOP

construct_server

Construct a string made of hostname and port

  $hostport = $r->construct_server();
  $hostport = $r->construct_server($hostname);
  $hostport = $r->construct_server($hostname, $port);
  $hostport = $r->construct_server($hostname, $port, $pool);

Examples:



TOP

construct_url

Build a fully qualified URL from the uri and information in the request rec:

  $url = $r->construct_url();
  $url = $r->construct_url($rel_uri);
  $url = $r->construct_url($rel_uri, $pool);

Examples:



TOP

parse_uri

Break apart URI (affecting the current request's uri components)

  $r->parse_uri($uri);

This method call has the following side-effects:

  1. sets $r->args to the rest after '?' if such exists in the passed $uri, otherwise sets it to undef.

  2. sets $r->uri to the passed $uri without the $r->args part.

  3. sets $r->hostname (if not set already) using the (scheme://host:port) parts of the passed $uri.



TOP

parsed_uri

Get the current request's parsed uri object

  my $uri = $r->parsed_uri();


TOP

unescape_url

Unescape URLs

  Apache2::URI::unescape_url($url);

Example:

  my $url = join '%20', qw(one two three);
  Apache2::URI::unescape_url($url);

$url now contains the string:

  "one two three";
