host_address

Return the host

Synopsis

template< class StringToken = return_string> StringToken::result_type host_address( StringToken&& token);

Declared in file <boost/url/url_view_base.hpp> at line 1109

Description

The value returned by this function depends on the type of host returned from the function host_type.

  • If the type is host_type::ipv4, then the IPv4 address string is returned.
  • If the type is host_type::ipv6, then the IPv6 address string is returned, without any enclosing brackets.
  • If the type is host_type::ipvfuture, then the IPvFuture address string is returned, without any enclosing brackets.
  • If the type is host_type::name, then the host name string is returned. Any percent-escapes in the string are decoded first.
  • If the type is host_type::none, then an empty string is returned.
  • Example

    assert( url_view( "https://[1::6:c0a8:1]/" ).host_address() == "1::6:c0a8:1" );

    Complexity

    Linear in `this->host_address().size()`.

    Exception Safety

    Calls to allocate may throw.

    BNF

    host = IP-literal / IPv4address / reg-name IP-literal = "[" ( IPv6address / IPvFuture ) "]" reg-name = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / "-" / ".")
