class URI::HTTP
The syntax of HTTP
URIs is defined in RFC1738 section 3.3.
Note that the Ruby URI
library allows HTTP
URLs containing usernames and passwords. This is not legal as per the RFC, but used to be supported in Internet Explorer 5 and 6, before the MS04-004 security update. See <URL:support.microsoft.com/kb/834489>.

Description¶ ↑
Create a new URI::HTTP
object from components, with syntax checking.
The components accepted are userinfo, host, port, path, query and fragment.
The components should be provided either as an Array, or as a Hash
with keys formed by preceding the component names with a colon.
If an Array is used, the components must be passed in the order [userinfo, host, port, path, query, fragment].
Example:
newuri = URI::HTTP.build(host: 'www.example.com', path: '/foo/bar') newuri = URI::HTTP.build([nil, "www.example.com", nil, "/path", "query", 'fragment'])
Currently, if passed userinfo components this method generates invalid HTTP
URIs as per RFC 1738.

Description¶ ↑
Returns the full path for an HTTP
request, as required by Net::HTTP::Get
.
If the URI
contains a query, the full path is URI#path + '?' + URI#query. Otherwise, the path is simply URI#path.
Example:
newuri = URI::HTTP.build(path: '/foo/bar', query: 'test=true') newuri.request_uri # => "/foo/bar?test=true"
# File lib/uri/http.rb, line 102 def request_uri return unless @path url = @query ? "#@path?#@query" : @path.dup url.start_with?(?/.freeze) ? url : ?/ + url end
