set_host

Set the host

Synopsis


                url_base&
set_host(
    string_view s);

Declared in file <src/url_base.cpp> at line 608

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 enclosed in square brackets, then the host is set to that address. The host type is host_type::ipv6.

If the string is a valid IPvFuture address enclosed in square brackets, 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( "127.0.0.1" ).buffer() == "http://127.0.0.1" );

Postconditions


this->has_authority() == true

Complexity

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

Exception Safety

Strong guarantee. Calls to allocate may throw.

BNF


host        = IP-literal / IPv4address / reg-name

IP-literal  = "[" ( IPv6address / IPvFuture  ) "]"

reg-name    = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / "-" / ".")
