=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
This module implements the C<URI> class. Objects of this class
|
|
represent "Uniform Resource Identifier references" as specified in RFC
|
|
2396.
|
|
|
|
A Uniform Resource Identifier is a compact string of characters for
|
|
identifying an abstract or physical resource. A Uniform Resource
|
|
Identifier can be further classified either a Uniform Resource Locator
|
|
(URL) or a Uniform Resource Name (URN). The distinction between URL
|
|
and URN does not matter to the C<URI> class interface. A
|
|
"URI-reference" is a URI that may have additional information attached
|
|
in the form of a fragment identifier.
|
|
|
|
An absolute URI reference consists of three parts. A I<scheme>, a
|
|
I<scheme specific part> and a I<fragment> identifier. A subset of URI
|
|
references share a common syntax for hierarchical namespaces. For
|
|
these the scheme specific part is further broken down into
|
|
I<authority>, I<path> and I<query> components. These URI can also
|
|
take the form of relative URI references, where the scheme (and
|
|
usually also the authority) component is missing, but implied by the
|
|
context of the URI reference. The three forms of URI reference
|
|
syntax are summarized as follows:
|
|
|
|
<scheme>:<scheme-specific-part>#<fragment>
|
|
<scheme>://<authority><path>?<query>#<fragment>
|
|
<path>?<query>#<fragment>
|
|
|
|
The components that a URI reference can be divided into depend on the
|
|
I<scheme>. The C<URI> class provides methods to get and set the
|
|
individual components. The methods available for a specific
|
|
C<URI> object depend on the scheme.
|
|
|
|
=head1 CONSTRUCTORS
|
|
|
|
The following methods construct new C<URI> objects:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item $uri = URI->new( $str, [$scheme] )
|
|
|
|
This class method constructs a new URI object. The string
|
|
representation of a URI is given as argument together with an optional
|
|
scheme specification. Common URI wrappers like "" and <>, as well as
|
|
leading and trailing white space, are automatically removed from
|
|
the $str argument before it is processed further.
|
|
|
|
The constructor determines the scheme, maps this to an appropriate
|
|
URI subclass, constructs a new object of that class and returns it.
|
|
|
|
The $scheme argument is only used when $str is a
|
|
relative URI. It can either be a simple string that
|
|
denotes the scheme, a string containing an absolute URI reference or
|
|
an absolute C<URI> object. If no $scheme is specified for a relative
|
|
URI $str, then $str is simply treated as a generic URI (no scheme
|
|
specific methods available).
|
|
|
|
The set of characters available for building URI references is
|
|
restricted (see L<URI::Escape>). Characters outside this set are
|
|
automatically escaped by the URI constructor.
|
|
|
|
=item $uri = URI->new_abs( $str, $base_uri )
|
|
|
|
This constructs a new absolute URI object. The $str argument can
|
|
denote a relative or absolute URI. If relative, then it will be
|
|
absolutized using $base_uri as base. The $base_uri must be an absolute
|
|
URI.
|
|
|
|
=item $uri = URI::file->new( $filename, [$os] )
|
|
|
|
This constructs a new I<file> URI from a file name. See L<URI::file>.
|
|
|
|
=item $uri = URI::file->new_abs( $filename, [$os] )
|
|
|
|
This constructs a new absolute I<file> URI from a file name. See
|
|
L<URI::file>.
|
|
|
|
=item $uri = URI::file->cwd
|
|
|
|
This returns the current working directory as a I<file> URI. See
|
|
L<URI::file>.
|
|
|
|
=item $uri->clone
|
|
|
|
This method returns a copy of the $uri.

|
=head1 COMMON METHODS
|
|
|
|
The methods described in this section are available for all C<URI>
|
|
objects.
|
|
|
|
Methods that give access to components of a URI will always return the
|
|
old value of the component. The value returned will be C<undef> if the
|
|
component was not present. There is generally a difference between a
|
|
component that is empty (represented as C<"">) and a component that is
|
|
missing (represented as C<undef>). If an accessor method is given an
|
|
argument it will update the corresponding component in addition to
|
|
returning the old value of the component. Passing an undefined
|
|
argument will remove the component (if possible). The description of
|
|
the various accessor methods will tell if the component is passed as
|
|
an escaped or an unescaped string. Components that can be futher
|
|
divided into sub-parts are usually passed escaped, as unescaping might
|
|
change its semantics.
|
|
|
|
The common methods available for all URI are:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item $uri->scheme( [$new_scheme] )
|
|
|
|
This method sets and returns the scheme part of the $uri. If the $uri is
|
|
relative, then $uri->scheme returns C<undef>. If called with an
|
|
argument, it will update the scheme of $uri, possibly changing the
|
|
class of $uri, and return the old scheme value. The method croaks
|
|
if the new scheme name is illegal; scheme names must begin with a
|
|
letter and must consist of only US-ASCII letters, numbers, and a few
|
|
special marks: ".", "+", "-". This restriction effectively means
|
|
that scheme have to be passed unescaped. Passing an undefined
|
|
argument to the scheme method will make the URI relative (if possible).
|
|
|
|
Letter case does not matter for scheme names. The string
|
|
returned by $uri->scheme is always lowercase. If you want the scheme
|
|
just as it was written in the URI in its original case,
|
|
you can use the $uri->_scheme method instead.
|
|
|
|
=item $uri->opaque( [$new_opaque] )
|
|
|
|
This method sets and returns the scheme specific part of the $uri
|
|
(everything between the scheme and the fragment)
|
|
as an escaped string.
|
|
|
|
=item $uri->path( [$new_path] )
|
|
|
|
This method sets and returns the same value as $uri->opaque unless the URI
|
|
supports the generic syntax for hierarchical namespaces.
|
|
In that case the generic method is overridden to set and return
|
|
the part of the URI between the I<host name> and the I<fragment>.
|
|
|
|
=item $uri->fragment( [$new_frag] )
|
|
|
|
This method returns the fragment identifier of a URI reference
|
|
as an escaped string.
|
|
|
|
=item $uri->as_string
|
|
|
|
This method returns a URI object to a plain string. URI objects are
|
|
also converted to plain strings automatically by overloading. This
|
|
means that $uri objects can be used as plain strings in most Perl
|
|
constructs.
|
|
|
|
=item $uri->canonical
|
|
|
|
This method will return a normalized version of the URI. The rules
|
|
for normalization are scheme dependent. It usually involves
|
|
lowercasing of the scheme and the Internet host name components,
|
|
removing the explicit port specification if it matches the default port,
|
|
uppercasing all escape sequences, and unescaping octets that can be
|
|
better represented as plain characters.
|
|
|
|
For efficiency reasons, if the $uri already was in normalized form,
|
|
then a reference to it is returned instead of a copy.
|
|
|
|
=item $uri->eq( $other_uri )
|
|
|
|
=item URI::eq( $first_uri, $other_uri )
|
|
|
|
This method tests whether two URI references are equal. URI references
|
|
that normalize to the same string are considered equal. The method
|
|
can also be used as a plain function which can also test two string
|
|
arguments.
|
|
|
|
If you need to test whether two C<URI> object references denote the
|
|
same object, use the '==' operator.
|
|
|
|
=item $uri->abs( $base_uri )
|
|
|
|
This method returns an absolute URI reference. If $uri already is
|
|
absolute, then a reference to it is simply returned. If the $uri
|
|
is relative, then a new absolute URI is constructed by combining the
|
|
$uri and the $base_uri, and returned.
|
|
|
|
=item $uri->rel( $base_uri )
|
|
|
|
This method returns a relative URI reference if it is possible to
|
|
make one that denotes the same resource relative to $base_uri.
|
|
If not, then $uri is simply returned.

=head1 GENERIC METHODS
|
|
|
|
The following methods are available to schemes that use the
|
|
common/generic syntax for hierarchical namespaces. The description of
|
|
schemes below will tell which one these are. Unknown schemes are
|
|
assumed to support the generic syntax, and therefore the following
|
|
methods:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item $uri->authority( [$new_authority] )
|
|
|
|
This method sets and returns the escaped authority component
|
|
of the $uri.
|
|
|
|
=item $uri->path( [$new_path] )
|
|
|
|
This method sets and returns the escaped path component of
|
|
the $uri (the part between the host name and the query or fragment).
|
|
The path will never be undefined, but it can be the empty string.
|
|
|
|
=item $uri->path_query( [$new_path_query] )
|
|
|
|
This method sets and returns the escaped path and query
|
|
components as a single entity. The path and the query are
|
|
separated by a "?" character, but the query can itself contain "?".
|
|
|
|
=item $uri->path_segments( [$segment,...] )
|
|
|
|
This method sets and returns the path. In scalar context it returns
|
|
the same value as $uri->path. In list context it will return the
|
|
unescaped path segments that make up the path. Path segments that
|
|
have parameters are returned as an anonymous array. The first element
|
|
is the unescaped path segment proper. Subsequent elements are escaped
|
|
parameter strings. Such an anonymous array uses overloading so it can
|
|
be treated as a string too, but this string does not include the
|
|
parameters.
|
|
|
|
=item $uri->query( [$new_query] )
|
|
|
|
This method sets and returns the escaped query component of
|
|
the $uri.
|
|
|
|
=item $uri->query_form( [$key => $value,...] )
|
|
|
|
This method sets and returns query components that use the
|
|
I<application/x-www-form-urlencoded> format. Key/value pairs are
|
|
separated by "&" and the key is separated from the value with a "="
|
|
character.
|
|
|
|
=item $uri->query_keywords( [$keywords,...] )
|
|
|
|
This method sets and returns query components that use the
|
|
keywords separated by "+" format.

=head1 SERVER METHODS
|
|
|
|
Schemes where the I<authority> component denotes a Internet host will
|
|
have the following methods available in addition to the generic
|
|
methods.

|
|
=item $uri->userinfo( [$new_userinfo] )
|
|
|
|
This method sets and returns the escaped userinfo part of the
|
|
authority componenent.
|
|
|
|
For some schemes this will be a user name and a password separated by
|
|
a colon. This practice is not recommended. Embedding passwords in
|
|
clear text (such as URI) has proven to be a security risk in almost
|
|
every case where it has been used.
|
|
|
|
=item $uri->host( [$new_host] )
|
|
|
|
This method sets and returns the unescaped hostname.
|
|
|
|
If the $new_host string ends with a colon and a number, then this
|
|
number will also set the port.
|
|
|
|
=item $uri->port( [ $new_port] )
|
|
|
|
This method sets and returns the port. The port is simple integer
|
|
that should be greater than 0.
|
|
|
|
If no explicit port is specified in the URI, then the default port of
|
|
the URI scheme is returned. If you don't want the default port
|
|
substituted, then you can use the $uri->_port method instead.
|
|
|
|
=item $uri->host_port( [ $new_host_port ] )
|
|
|
|
This method sets and returns the host and port as a single
|
|
unit. The returned value will include a port, even if it matches the
|
|
default port. The host part and the port part is separated with a
|
|
colon; ":".
|
|
|
|
=item $uri->default_port
|
|
|
|
This method returns the default port of the URI scheme that $uri
|
|
belongs to. For I<http> this will be the number 80, for I<ftp> this
|
|
will be the number 21, etc. The default port for a scheme can not be
|
|
changed.

of small data items as "immediate" data, as if it had been included
|
|
externally.
|
|
|
|
C<URI> objects belonging to the data scheme support the common methods
|
|
and two new methods to access their scheme specific components;
|
|
$uri->media_type and $uri->data. See L<URI::data> for details.
|
|
|
|
=item B<file>:
|
|
|
|
An old specification of the I<file> URI scheme is found in RFC 1738.

|
|
references are in common use.
|
|
|
|
C<URI> objects belonging to the file scheme support the common and
|
|
generic methods. In addition they provide two methods to map file URI
|
|
back to local file names; $uri->file and $uri->dir. See L<URI::file>
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
=item B<ftp>:

|
|
references are in common use.
|
|
|
|
C<URI> objects belonging to the ftp scheme support the common,

generic and server methods.
|
|
|
|
=item B<https>:
|
|
|
|
The I<https> URI scheme is a Netscape invention which is commonly
|
|
implemented. The scheme is used to reference HTTP servers through SSL
|
|
connections. It's syntax is the same as http, but the default
|
|
port is different.
|
|
|
|
=item B<ldap>:
|
|
|
|
The I<ldap> URI scheme is specified in RFC 2255. LDAP is the
|
|
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. A ldap URI describes an LDAP
|
|
search operation to perform to retrieve information from an LDAP
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
C<URI> objects belonging to the ldap scheme support the common,
|
|
generic and server methods as well as specific ldap methods; $uri->dn,
|
|
$uri->attributes, $uri->scope, $uri->filter, $uri->extensions. See

|
L<URI::ldap> for details.
|
|
|
|
=item B<mailto>:
|
|
|
|
The I<mailto> URI scheme is specified in RFC 2368. The scheme was
|
|
originally used to designate the Internet mailing address of an
|
|
individual or service. It has (in RFC 2368) been extended to allow
|
|
setting of other mail header fields and the message body.
|
|
|
|
C<URI> objects belonging to the mailto scheme support the common
|
|
methods and the generic query methods. In addition they support the
|
|
following mailto specific methods: $uri->to, $uri->headers.
|
|
|
|
=item B<news>:
|
|
|
|
The I<news>, I<nntp> and I<snews> URI schemes are specified in

|
|
2396 based specification soon.
|
|
|
|
C<URI> objects belonging to the news scheme support the common,
|
|
generic and server methods. In addition they provide some methods to
|
|
access the path: $uri->group and $uri->message.
|
|
|
|
=item B<nntp>:
|
|
|
|
See I<news> scheme.
|
|
|
|
=item B<pop>:
|

|
|
reference a POP3 mailbox.
|
|
|
|
C<URI> objects belonging to the pop scheme support the common, generic
|
|
and server methods. In addition they provide two methods to access the
|
|
userinfo components: $uri->user and $uri->auth
|
|
|
|
=item B<rlogin>:
|
|
|
|
An old speficication of the I<rlogin> URI scheme is found in RFC
|
|
1738. C<URI> objects belonging to the rlogin scheme support the
|
|
common, generic and server methods.
|
|
|
|
=item B<snews>:
|
|
|
|
See I<news> scheme. It's syntax is the same as news, but the default
|
|
port is different.
|
|
|
|
=item B<telnet>:
|
|
|

=head1 CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
|
|
|
|
The following configuration variables influence how the class and it's
|
|
methods behave:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item $URI::ABS_ALLOW_RELATIVE_SCHEME
|
|
|
|
Some older parsers used to allow the scheme name to be present in the
|
|
relative URL if it was the same as the base URL scheme. RFC 2396 says
|
|
that this should be avoided, but you can enable this old behaviour by
|
|
setting the $URI::ABS_ALLOW_RELATIVE_SCHEME variable to a TRUE value.
|
|
The difference is demonstrated by the following examples:
|
|
|
|
URI->new("http:foo")->abs("http://host/a/b")
|
|
==> "http:foo"
|
|
|
|
local $URI::ABS_ALLOW_RELATIVE_SCHEME = 1;
|
|
URI->new("http:foo")->abs("http://host/a/b")
|
|
==> "http:/host/a/foo"
|
|
|
|
|
|
=item $URI::ABS_REMOTE_LEADING_DOTS
|
|
|
|
You can also have the abs() method ignore excess ".."
|
|
segments in the relative URI by setting $URI::ABS_REMOTE_LEADING_DOTS
|
|
to a TRUE value. The difference is demonstrated by the following
|
|
examples:
|
|
|
|
URI->new("../../../foo")->abs("http://host/a/b")
|
|
==> "http://host/../../foo"
|
|
|
|
local $URI::URL::ABS_REMOTE_LEADING_DOTS = 1;
|
|
URI->new("../../../foo")->abs("http://host/a/b")
|
|
==> "http://host/foo"
