URI is a module providing classes to handle Uniform Resource Identifiers (RFC2396)
Uniform handling of handling URIs
Flexibility to introduce custom URI schemes
Flexibility to have an alternate URI::Parser (or just different patterns and regexp’s)
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"
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>
