host

Return the host

Synopsis


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

Declared in file <boost/url/authority_view.hpp> at line 701

Description

This function returns the host portion of the authority as a string, or the empty string if there is no authority. Any percent-escapes in the string are decoded first.

Example


assert( url_view( "https://www%2droot.example.com/" ).host() == "www-root.example.com" );

Complexity

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

Exception Safety

Calls to allocate may throw.

BNF


host        = IP-literal / IPv4address / reg-name

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

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