remove_password

Remove the password

Synopsis

static_url& remove_password() noexcept;

Declared in file <boost/url/static_url.hpp> at line 371

Description

This function removes the password from the userinfo if a password exists. If there is no userinfo or no authority, the call has no effect.

NOTE

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

Example

assert( url( "http://user:pass@example.com" ).remove_password().authority().buffer() == "user@example.com" );

Postconditions

this->has_password() == false && this->encoded_password().empty() == true

Complexity

Linear in `this->size()`.

Exception Safety

Throws nothing.

BNF

userinfo = [ [ user ] [ ':' password ] ] user = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims ) password = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / ":" )
