Overview
URI is a module providing classes to handle Uniform Resource Identifiers (RFC2396)
Features
- 
Uniform handling of handling URIs 
- 
Flexibility to introduce custom URIschemes
- 
Flexibility to have an alternate 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:0x00000000b14880
      URL: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
  @@schemes['RSYNC'] = RSYNC
end
#=> URI::RSYNC
URI.scheme_list
#=> {"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:0x00000000f648c8 URL:rsync://rsync.foo.com>RFC References

Class Method Details
.decode_www_form(str, enc = Encoding::UTF_8, separator: '&', use__charset_: false, isindex: false)
Decode URL-encoded form data from given str.
This decodes application/x-www-form-urlencoded data and returns array of key-value array.
This refers url.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-urlencoded-parser , so this supports only &-separator, don't support ;-separator.
ary = URI.decode_www_form("a=1&a=2&b=3")
p ary                  #=> [['a', '1'], ['a', '2'], ['b', '3']]
p ary.assoc('a').last  #=> '1'
p ary.assoc('b').last  #=> '3'
p ary.rassoc('a').last #=> '2'
p Hash[ary]            # => {"a"=>"2", "b"=>"3"}# File 'lib/uri/common.rb', line 450
def self.decode_www_form(str, enc=Encoding::UTF_8, separator: '&', use__charset_: false, isindex: false) raise ArgumentError, "the input of #{self.name}.#{__method__} must be ASCII only string" unless str.ascii_only? ary = [] return ary if str.empty? enc = Encoding.find(enc) str.b.each_line(separator) do |string| string.chomp!(separator) key, sep, val = string.partition('=') if isindex if sep.empty? val = key key = '' end isindex = false end if use__charset_ and key == '_charset_' and e = get_encoding(val) enc = e use__charset_ = false end key.gsub!(/\+|%\h\h/, TBLDECWWWCOMP_) if val val.gsub!(/\+|%\h\h/, TBLDECWWWCOMP_) else val = '' end ary << [key, val] end ary.each do |k, v| k.force_encoding(enc) k.scrub! v.force_encoding(enc) v.scrub! end ary end
.decode_www_form_component(str, enc = Encoding::UTF_8)
Decode given str of URL-encoded form data.
This decodes + to SP.
# File 'lib/uri/common.rb', line 382
def self.decode_www_form_component(str, enc=Encoding::UTF_8) raise ArgumentError, "invalid %-encoding (#{str})" if /%(?!\h\h)/ =~ str str.b.gsub(/\+|%\h\h/, TBLDECWWWCOMP_).force_encoding(enc) end
.encode_www_form(enum, enc = nil)
Generate URL-encoded form data from given enum.
This generates application/x-www-form-urlencoded data defined in HTML5 from given an Enumerable object.
This internally uses URI.encode_www_form_component(str).
This method doesn't convert the encoding of given items, so convert them before call this method if you want to send data as other than original encoding or mixed encoding data. (Strings which are encoded in an HTML5 ASCII incompatible encoding are converted to UTF-8.)
This method doesn't handle files. When you send a file, use multipart/form-data.
This refers url.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-urlencoded-serializer
URI.encode_www_form([["q", "ruby"], ["lang", "en"]])
#=> "q=ruby&lang=en"
URI.encode_www_form("q" => "ruby", "lang" => "en")
#=> "q=ruby&lang=en"
URI.encode_www_form("q" => ["ruby", "perl"], "lang" => "en")
#=> "q=ruby&q=perl&lang=en"
URI.encode_www_form([["q", "ruby"], ["q", "perl"], ["lang", "en"]])
#=> "q=ruby&q=perl&lang=en"# File 'lib/uri/common.rb', line 414
def self.encode_www_form(enum, enc=nil) enum.map do |k,v| if v.nil? encode_www_form_component(k, enc) elsif v.respond_to?(:to_ary) v.to_ary.map do |w| str = encode_www_form_component(k, enc) unless w.nil? str << '=' str << encode_www_form_component(w, enc) end end.join('&') else str = encode_www_form_component(k, enc) str << '=' str << encode_www_form_component(v, enc) end end.join('&') end
.encode_www_form_component(str, enc = nil)
Encode given str to URL-encoded form data.
This method doesn't convert *, -, ., 0-9, A-Z, _, a-z, but does convert SP (ASCII space) to + and converts others to %XX.
If enc is given, convert str to the encoding before percent encoding.
This is an implementation of www.w3.org/TR/2013/CR-html5-20130806/forms.html#url-encoded-form-data
# File 'lib/uri/common.rb', line 364

.extract(str, schemes = nil, &block)
Synopsis
URI::extract(str[, schemes][,&blk])Args
- str
- 
String to extract URIs from. 
- schemes
- 
Limit URI matching to a specific schemes. 
Description
Extracts URIs from a string. If block given, iterates through all matched URIs. Returns nil if block given or array with matches.
Usage
require "uri"
URI.extract("text here http://foo.example.org/bla and here mailto:test@example.com and here also.")
# => ["http://foo.example.com/bla", "mailto:test@example.com"]# File 'lib/uri/common.rb', line 292
def self.extract(str, schemes = nil, &block) warn "#{caller(1)[0]}: warning: URI.extract is obsolete" if $VERBOSE DEFAULT_PARSER.extract(str, schemes, &block) end
.join(*str)
Synopsis
URI::join(str[, str, ...])Args
- str
- 
String(s) to work with, will be converted to RFC3986 URIs before merging. 
Description
Joins URIs.
Usage
require 'uri'
p URI.join("http://example.com/","main.rbx")
# => #<URI::HTTP:0x2022ac02 URL:http://example.com/main.rbx>
p URI.join('http://example.com', 'foo')
# => #<URI::HTTP:0x01ab80a0 URL:http://example.com/foo>
p URI.join('http://example.com', '/foo', '/bar')
# => #<URI::HTTP:0x01aaf0b0 URL:http://example.com/bar>
p URI.join('http://example.com', '/foo', 'bar')
# => #<URI::HTTP:0x801a92af0 URL:http://example.com/bar>
p URI.join('http://example.com', '/foo/', 'bar')
# => #<URI::HTTP:0x80135a3a0 URL:http://example.com/foo/bar># File 'lib/uri/common.rb', line 264
def self.join(*str) RFC3986_PARSER.join(*str) end
.parse(uri)
Synopsis
URI::parse(uri_str)Args
- uri_str
- 
String with URI. 
Description
Creates one of the URI's subclasses instance from the string.
Raises
Raised if URI given is not a correct one.Usage
require 'uri'
uri = URI.parse("http://www.ruby-lang.org/")
p uri
# => #<URI::HTTP:0x202281be URL:http://www.ruby-lang.org/>
p uri.scheme
# => "http"
p uri.host
# => "www.ruby-lang.org"It's recommended to first .escape the provided uri_str if there are any invalid URI characters.
# File 'lib/uri/common.rb', line 226

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|
