Synopsis

Declared in <boost/url/authority_view.hpp>

system::result<authority_view>
parse_authority(core::string_view s) noexcept;

Description

BNF

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

host          = IP-literal / IPv4address / reg-name

port          = *DIGIT
