static_url_base::set_encoded_userinfo

(Inherited from url_base)

Set the userinfo.

Synopsis
url_base&
set_encoded_userinfo(
    pct_string_view s);
Description

The userinfo is set to the given string, which may contain percent-escapes. Escapes in the string are preserved, and reserved characters in the string are percent-escaped in the result. The effects on the user and password depend on the presence of a colon (':') in the string:

Remarks

The interpretation of the userinfo as individual user and password components is scheme-dependent. Transmitting passwords in URLs is deprecated.

Example
assert( url( "http://example.com" ).set_encoded_userinfo( "john%20doe" ).user() == "john doe" );
Complexity

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

Exception Safety

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