URI(3p)

NAME
Apache::URI - URI component parsing and unparsing

SYNOPSIS
  use Apache::URI ();
  my $uri = $r->parsed_uri;

  my $uri = Apache::URI->parse($r, "http://perl.apache.org/");

DESCRIPTION
This module provides an interface to the Apache util_uri module and the uri_components structure.

METHODS

Apache::parsed_uri
    Apache will have already parsed the requested uri components, which can be obtained via the parsed_uri method defined in the Apache class. This method returns an object blessed into the Apache::URI class.

     my $uri = $r->parsed_uri;

parse
    This method will parse a URI string into uri components which are stashed in the Apache::URI object it returns.

        my $uri = Apache::URI->parse($r, "http://www.foo.com/path/file.html?query+string");

    This method is considerably faster than using URI::URL:

        timethese(5000, {
            C => sub { Apache::URI->parse($r, $test_uri) },
            Perl => sub { URI::URL->new($test_uri) },
        });

     Benchmark: timing 5000 iterations of C, Perl...
       C:  1 secs ( 0.62 usr  0.04 sys =  0.66 cpu)
       Perl:  6 secs ( 6.21 usr  0.08 sys =  6.29 cpu)

unparse
    This method will join the uri components back into a string version.

     my $string = $uri->unparse;

scheme
     my $scheme = $uri->scheme;

hostinfo
     my $hostinfo = $uri->hostinfo;

user
     my $user = $uri->user;

password
     my $password = $uri->password;

hostname
     my $hostname = $uri->hostname;

port
     my $port = $uri->port;

path
     my $path = $uri->path;

rpath
    Returns the path minus path_info.

     my $path = $uri->rpath;

query
     my $query = $uri->query;

fragment
     my $fragment = $uri->fragment;
