# http_uri

### MODULE

http_uri

### MODULE SUMMARY

URI utility module

### DESCRIPTION

This module provides utility functions for working with URIs, according to RFC 3986.

### COMMON DATA TYPES

Type definitions that are used more than once in this module:

    boolean() = true | false
    string()  = list of ASCII characters

### URI DATA TYPES

Type definitions that are related to URI:

For more information about URI, see RFC 3986.

    uri()       = string() - Syntax according to the URI definition in rfc 3986,
                             e.g.: "http://www.erlang.org/"
    user_info() = string()
    scheme()    = atom()   - Example: http, https
    host()      = string()
    port()      = pos_integer()
    path()      = string() - Representing a file path or directory path
    query()     = string()
    fragment()  = string()

### EXPORTS

scheme_defaults() -> SchemeDefaults

Types:

SchemeDefaults = [{scheme(), default_scheme_port_number()}]
default_scheme_port_number() = pos_integer()

This function provides a list of the scheme and their default port numbers currently supported (by default) by this utility.

parse(URI) -> {ok, Result} | {error, Reason}
parse(URI, Options) -> {ok, Result} | {error, Reason}

Types:

URI = uri()
Options = [Option]
Option = {ipv6_host_with_brackets, boolean()} | {scheme_defaults, scheme_defaults()} | {fragment, boolean()}]
Result = {Scheme, UserInfo, Host, Port, Path, Query} | {Scheme, UserInfo, Host, Port, Path, Query, Fragment}
UserInfo = user_info()
Host = host()
Port = pos_integer()
Path = path()
Query = query()
Fragment = fragment()
Reason = term()

This function is used to parse an URI. If no scheme defaults are provided, the value of scheme_defaults function will be used.

Note that when parsing an URI with an unknown scheme (that is, a scheme not found in the scheme defaults) a port number must be provided or else the parsing will fail.

If the fragment option is true, the URI fragment will be returned as part of the parsing result, otherwise it is completely ignored.

encode(URI) -> HexEncodedURI

Types:

URI = uri()
HexEncodedURI = string() - Hex encoded uri

Hex encode an URI.

decode(HexEncodedURI) -> URI

Types:

HexEncodedURI = string() - A possibly hex encoded uri
URI = uri()

Decode a possibly hex encoded URI.
