urld 0.1.0

urld

URL handling for D

Motivation

D's standard library has nothing for working with URLs.

Vibe.d can work with URLs. However, Vibe is big. Also, we want to work easily with query strings, which vibe.d doesn't allow.

Status

urld does not currently support Unicode domain names.

There are some convenience accessors to add.

No backwards-incompatible changes are planned.

Installation

Add "urld": "~>0.1.0" to your dub.json.

Usage

Parse a URL:

auto url = "ircs://irc.freenode.com/#d".parseURL;

Construct one from scratch, laboriously:

URL url;
with (url) {
	scheme = "soap.beep";
	host = "beep.example.net";
	port = 1772;
	path = "/serverinfo/info";
	query["token"] = "my-api-token";
}
curl.get(url.toString);

Autodetect ports:

assert(parseURL("http://example.org").port == 80);
assert(parseURL("http://example.org:5326").port == 5326);

URLs of maximum complexity:

auto url = parseURL("redis://admin:password@redisbox.local:2201/path?query=value#fragment");
assert(url.scheme == "redis");
assert(url.user == "admin");
assert(url.pass == "password");
// etc

URLs of minimum complexity:

assert(parseURL("example.org").toString == "http://example.org/");

Canonicalization:

assert(parseURL("http://example.org:80").toString == "http://example.org/");
