static_url::set_encoded

static_url::set_encoded_host

(Inherited from url_base)

Set the host.

Synopsis

url_base&
set_encoded_host(
    pct_string_view s);

Description

Depending on the contents of the passed string, this function sets the host:

If the string is a valid IPv4 address, then the host is set to the address. The host type will be host_type::ipv4.
If the string is a valid IPv6 address enclosed in square brackets, then the host is set to that address. The host type will be host_type::ipv6.
If the string is a valid IPvFuture address enclosed in square brackets, then the host is set to that address. The host type will be host_type::ipvfuture.
Otherwise, the host name is set to the string. This string can contain percent escapes, or can be empty. Escapes in the string are preserved, and reserved characters in the string are percent-escaped in the result. The host type will be host_type::name.

In all cases, when this function returns, the URL will contain an authority.

Example

assert( url( "http://www.example.com" ).set_host( "127.0.0.1" ).buffer() == "http://127.0.0.1" );

Postconditions

this->has_authority() == true

Complexity

Linear in this->size() + s.size().

Exception Safety

Strong guarantee. Calls to allocate may throw. Exceptions thrown on invalid input.

Exceptions

Type	Thrown On
`system_error`	`s` contains an invalid percent-encoding.

Parameters

Name	Description
`s`	The string to set.

BNF

host        = IP-literal / IPv4address / reg-name

IP-literal  = "[" ( IPv6address / IPvFuture  ) "]"

reg-name    = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / "-" / ".")
