Set the userinfo
Synopsis
Declared in header <boost/url/url_base.hpp>
url_base&
set_userinfo(core::string_view s);Description
The userinfo is set to the given string, which may contain percent-escapes. Any special or reserved characters in the string are automatically percent-encoded. The effects on the user and password depend on the presence of a colon (':') in the string:
-
If an unescaped colon exists, the characters up to the colon become the user and the rest of the characters after the colon become the password. In this case has_password returns true. Otherwise,
-
If there is no colon, the user is set to the string. The function has_password returns false.
The interpretation of the userinfo as individual user and password components is scheme-dependent. Transmitting passwords in URLs is deprecated.
Example
assert( url( "http://example.com" ).set_userinfo( "user:pass" ).encoded_user() == "user" );Complexity
Linear in this->size() + s.size().
Exception Safety
Strong guarantee. Calls to allocate may throw.
