boost::urls::url_base::set_userinfo

Set the userinfo

Synopsis

Declared in <include/boost/url/url_base.hpp>


url_base&
set_userinfo(core::string_view s);

Description

The userinfo is set to the given string, which may contain percent-escapes. Any special or reserved characters in the string are automatically percent-encoded. The effects on the user and password depend on the presence of a colon (':') in the string:

If an unescaped colon exists, the characters up to the colon become the user and the rest of the characters after the colon become the password. In this case has_password returns true. Otherwise,

If there is no colon, the user is set to the string. The function has_password returns false.

NOTE

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


assert( url( "http://example.com" ).set_userinfo( "user:pass" ).encoded_user() == "user" );

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

Strong guarantee.

Calls to allocate may throw.


userinfo      = [ [ user ] [ ':' password ] ]

user          = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims )
password      = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / ":" )
