module URI
URI is a module providing classes to handle Uniform Resource Identifiers (RFC2396).
Features
-
Uniform way of handling URIs.
-
Flexibility to introduce custom
URIschemes. -
Flexibility to have an alternate URI::Parser (or just different patterns and regexp’s).
Basic example
require 'uri' uri = URI("http://foo.com/posts?id=30&limit=5#time=1305298413") #=> #<URI::HTTP http://foo.com/posts?id=30&limit=5#time=1305298413> uri.scheme #=> "http" uri.host #=> "foo.com" uri.path #=> "/posts" uri.query #=> "id=30&limit=5" uri.fragment #=> "time=1305298413" uri.to_s #=> "http://foo.com/posts?id=30&limit=5#time=1305298413"
Adding custom URIs
module URI class RSYNC < Generic DEFAULT_PORT = 873 end register_scheme 'RSYNC', RSYNC end #=> URI::RSYNC URI.scheme_list #=> {"FILE"=>URI::File, "FTP"=>URI::FTP, "HTTP"=>URI::HTTP, # "HTTPS"=>URI::HTTPS, "LDAP"=>URI::LDAP, "LDAPS"=>URI::LDAPS, # "MAILTO"=>URI::MailTo, "RSYNC"=>URI::RSYNC} uri = URI("rsync://rsync.foo.com") #=> #<URI::RSYNC rsync://rsync.foo.com>

# File vendor/bundle/ruby/4.0.0/gems/rbs-4.0.3/stdlib/uri/0/common.rbs, line 163
def self.decode_www_form: (String str, ?encoding enc, ?isindex: boolish, ?use__charset_: boolish, ?separator: String) -> Array[[ String, String ]]
Returns name/value pairs derived from the given string str, which must be an ASCII string.
The method may be used to decode the body of Net::HTTPResponse object res for which res['Content-Type'] is 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'.
The returned data is an array of 2-element subarrays; each subarray is a name/value pair (both are strings). Each returned string has encoding enc, and has had invalid characters removed via String#scrub.
A simple example:
URI.decode_www_form('foo=0&bar=1&baz') # => [["foo", "0"], ["bar", "1"], ["baz", ""]]
The returned strings have certain conversions, similar to those performed in URI.decode_www_form_component:
URI.decode_www_form('f%23o=%2F&b-r=%24&b+z=%40') # => [["f#o", "/"], ["b-r", "$"], ["b z", "@"]]
The given string may contain consecutive separators:
URI.decode_www_form('foo=0&&bar=1&&baz=2') # => [["foo", "0"], ["", ""], ["bar", "1"], ["", ""], ["baz", "2"]]
A different separator may be specified:
URI.decode_www_form('foo=0--bar=1--baz', separator: '--') # => [["foo", "0"], ["bar", "1"], ["baz", ""]]
# File vendor/bundle/ruby/4.0.0/gems/rbs-4.0.3/stdlib/uri/0/common.rbs, line 201
def self.decode_www_form_component: (String str, ?encoding enc) -> String
Returns a string decoded from the given URL-encoded string str.
The given string is first encoded as Encoding::ASCII-8BIT (using String#b), then decoded (as below), and finally force-encoded to the given encoding enc.
The returned string:
-
Preserves:
-
Characters
'*','.','-', and'_'. -
Character in ranges
'a'..'z','A'..'Z', and'0'..'9'.
Example:
URI.decode_www_form_component('*.-_azAZ09') # => "*.-_azAZ09"
-
-
Converts:
-
Character
'+'to character' '. -
Each "percent notation" to an ASCII character.
Example:
URI.decode_www_form_component('Here+are+some+punctuation+characters%3A+%2C%3B%3F%3A') # => "Here are some punctuation characters: ,;?:"
-
Related: URI.decode_uri_component (preserves '+').
# File vendor/bundle/ruby/4.0.0/gems/rbs-4.0.3/stdlib/uri/0/common.rbs, line 210
def self.encode_uri_component: (String str, ?encoding enc) -> String
Like URI.encode_www_form_component, except that ' ' (space) is encoded as '%20' (instead of '+').
(Enumerable[[ _ToS, _ToS ]] enum, ?encoding? enc) → String
Source
# File vendor/bundle/ruby/4.0.0/gems/rbs-4.0.3/stdlib/uri/0/common.rbs, line 311
def self.encode_www_form: (Enumerable[[ _ToS, _ToS ]] enum, ?encoding? enc) -> String
Returns a URL-encoded string derived from the given Enumerable enum.
The result is suitable for use as form data for an HTTP request whose Content-Type is 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'.
The returned string consists of the elements of enum, each converted to one or more URL-encoded strings, and all joined with character '&'.
Simple examples:
URI.encode_www_form([['foo', 0], ['bar', 1], ['baz', 2]]) # => "foo=0&bar=1&baz=2" URI.encode_www_form({foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}) # => "foo=0&bar=1&baz=2"
The returned string is formed using method URI.encode_www_form_component, which converts certain characters:
URI.encode_www_form('f#o': '/', 'b-r': '$', 'b z': '@') # => "f%23o=%2F&b-r=%24&b+z=%40"
When enum is Array-like, each element ele is converted to a field:
-
If
eleis an array of two or more elements, the field is formed from its first two elements (and any additional elements are ignored):name = URI.encode_www_form_component(ele[0], enc) value = URI.encode_www_form_component(ele[1], enc) "#{name}=#{value}"
Examples:
URI.encode_www_form([%w[foo bar], %w[baz bat bah]]) # => "foo=bar&baz=bat" URI.encode_www_form([['foo', 0], ['bar', :baz, 'bat']]) # => "foo=0&bar=baz"
-
If
eleis an array of one element, the field is formed fromele[0]:URI.encode_www_form_component(ele[0])
Example:
URI.encode_www_form([['foo'], [:bar], [0]]) # => "foo&bar&0"
-
Otherwise the field is formed from
ele:URI.encode_www_form_component(ele)
Example:
URI.encode_www_form(['foo', :bar, 0]) # => "foo&bar&0"
The elements of an Array-like enum may be mixture:
URI.encode_www_form([['foo', 0], ['bar', 1, 2], ['baz'], :bat]) # => "foo=0&bar=1&baz&bat"
When enum is Hash-like, each key/value pair is converted to one or more fields:
-
If
valueis [Array-convertible](implicit_conversion.rdoc@Array-Convertible+Ob jects), each elementeleinvalueis paired withkeyto form a field:name = URI.encode_www_form_component(key, enc) value = URI.encode_www_form_component(ele, enc) "#{name}=#{value}"
Example:
URI.encode_www_form({foo: [:bar, 1], baz: [:bat, :bam, 2]}) # => "foo=bar&foo=1&baz=bat&baz=bam&baz=2"
-
Otherwise,
keyandvalueare paired to form a field:name = URI.encode_www_form_component(key, enc) value = URI.encode_www_form_component(value, enc) "#{name}=#{value}"
Example:
URI.encode_www_form({foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}) # => "foo=0&bar=1&baz=2"
The elements of a Hash-like enum may be mixture:
URI.encode_www_form({foo: [0, 1], bar: 2}) # => "foo=0&foo=1&bar=2"

def self.encode_www_form_component: (_ToS str, ?encoding? enc) -> String
Returns a URL-encoded string derived from the given string str.
The returned string:
-
Preserves:
-
Characters
'*','.','-', and'_'. -
Character in ranges
'a'..'z','A'..'Z', and'0'..'9'.
Example:
URI.encode_www_form_component('*.-_azAZ09') # => "*.-_azAZ09"
-
-
Converts:
-
Character
' 'to character'+'. -
Any other character to "percent notation"; the percent notation for character c is
'%%%X' % c.ord.
Example:
URI.encode_www_form_component('Here are some punctuation characters: ,;?:') # => "Here+are+some+punctuation+characters%3A+%2C%3B%3F%3A"
-
Encoding:
-
If
strhas encodingEncoding::ASCII_8BIT, argumentencis ignored. -
Otherwise
stris converted first toEncoding::UTF_8(with suitable character replacements), and then to encodingenc.
In either case, the returned string has forced encoding Encoding::US_ASCII.

def self.for: (String scheme, *untyped arguments, ?default: Class) -> (File | FTP | HTTP | HTTPS | LDAP | LDAPS | MailTo | WS | WSS | Generic)
Returns a new object constructed from the given scheme, arguments, and default:
-
The new object is an instance of
URI.scheme_list[scheme.upcase]. -
The object is initialized by calling the class initializer using
schemeandarguments. SeeURI::Generic.new.
Examples:
values = ['john.doe', 'www.example.com', '123', nil, '/forum/questions/', nil, 'tag=networking&order=newest', 'top'] URI.for('https', *values) # => #<URI::HTTPS https://john.doe@www.example.com:123/forum/questions/?tag=networking&order=newest#top> URI.for('foo', *values, default: URI::HTTP) # => #<URI::HTTP foo://john.doe@www.example.com:123/forum/questions/?tag=networking&order=newest#top>

def self.join: (_ToStr | URI::Generic str, *_ToStr | URI::Generic strs) -> URI::Generic
Merges the given URI strings str per RFC 2396.
Each string in str is converted to an RFC3986 URI before being merged.
Examples:
URI.join("http://example.com/","main.rbx") # => #<URI::HTTP http://example.com/main.rbx> URI.join('http://example.com', 'foo') # => #<URI::HTTP http://example.com/foo> URI.join('http://example.com', '/foo', '/bar') # => #<URI::HTTP http://example.com/bar> URI.join('http://example.com', '/foo', 'bar') # => #<URI::HTTP http://example.com/bar> URI.join('http://example.com', '/foo/', 'bar') # => #<URI::HTTP http://example.com/foo/bar>

| [T] (String name, ?String mode, ?Integer perm, ?untyped options) { (StringIO | Tempfile) -> T } -> T
Allows the opening of various resources including URIs.
If the first argument responds to the ‘open’ method, ‘open’ is called on it with the rest of the arguments.
If the first argument is a string that begins with (protocol)://, it is parsed by URI.parse. If the parsed object responds to the ‘open’ method, ‘open’ is called on it with the rest of the arguments.
Otherwise, Kernel#open is called.
OpenURI::OpenRead#open provides URI::HTTP#open, URI::HTTPS#open and URI::FTP#open, Kernel#open.
We can accept URIs and strings that begin with http://, https:// and ftp://. In these cases, the opened file object is extended by OpenURI::Meta.

def self.parse: (_ToStr uri) -> (File | FTP | HTTP | HTTPS | LDAP | LDAPS | MailTo | WS | WSS | Generic)
Returns a new URI object constructed from the given string uri:
URI.parse('https://john.doe@www.example.com:123/forum/questions/?tag=networking&order=newest#top') # => #<URI::HTTPS https://john.doe@www.example.com:123/forum/questions/?tag=networking&order=newest#top> URI.parse('http://john.doe@www.example.com:123/forum/questions/?tag=networking&order=newest#top') # => #<URI::HTTP http://john.doe@www.example.com:123/forum/questions/?tag=networking&order=newest#top>
It’s recommended to first URI::RFC2396_PARSER.escape string uri if it may contain invalid URI characters.

def self.regexp: (?Array[String]? schemes) -> Regexp
Synopsis
URI::regexp([match_schemes])
Args

Description
Returns a Regexp object which matches to URI-like strings. The Regexp object returned by this method includes arbitrary number of capture group (parentheses). Never rely on its number.
Usage
require 'uri' # extract first URI from html_string html_string.slice(URI.regexp) # remove ftp URIs html_string.sub(URI.regexp(['ftp']), '') # You should not rely on the number of parentheses html_string.scan(URI.regexp) do |*matches| p $& end
