<h2 id=url>URL</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The <tt>url</tt> namespace provides functions to parse, protect,
|
||
|
|
and build URLs, as well as functions to compose absolute URLs
|
||
|
|
from base and relative URLs, according to
|
||
|
|
<a href="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~diego/rfc/rfc2396.txt">RFC
|
||
|
|
2396</a>.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
To obtain the <tt>url</tt> namespace, run:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre class=example>
|
||
|
|
-- loads the URL module
|
||
|
|
local url = require("socket.url")
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
An URL is defined by the following grammar:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<blockquote>
|
||
|
|
<tt>
|
||
|
|
<url> ::= [<scheme>:][//<authority>][/<path>][;<params>][?<query>][#<fragment>]<br>
|

|

|

</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p class=parameters>
|
||
|
|
<tt>Base</tt> is a string with the base URL or
|
||
|
|
a parsed URL table. <tt>Relative</tt> is a
|
||
|
|
string with the relative URL.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p class=return>
|
||
|
|
The function returns a string with the absolute URL.
|
||
|

</p>
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
<p class=note>
|
||
|
|
Note: The rules that
|
||
|
|
govern the composition are fairly complex, and are described in detail in
|
||
|
|
<a href="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~diego/rfc/rfc2396.txt">RFC 2396</a>.
|
||
|

The example bellow should give an idea of what the rules are.
