Function static_url:: set_host_address

Set the host to an address

Synopsis

            static_url&
set_host_address(core::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 is host_type::ipv4 .
  • If the string is a valid IPv6 address, then the host is set to that address. The host type is host_type::ipv6 .
  • If the string is a valid IPvFuture, then the host is set to that address. The host type is host_type::ipvfuture .
  • Otherwise, the host name is set to the string, which may be empty. Reserved characters in the string are percent-escaped in the result. The host type is host_type::name .
  • In all cases, when this function returns, the URL contains an authority.

    Example

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

    Postconditions

    this->has_authority() == true

    Complexity

    Linear in `s.size()`.

    Exception Safety

    Strong guarantee. Calls to allocate may throw.
