Constructors

URL 

Fields

url_type :: URLType
 
url_path :: String
 
url_params :: [(String, String)]
 

Instances

data URLType

Different types of URL.

Constructors

Absolute Host

Has a host

HostRelative

Does not have a host

PathRelative

Relative to another URL

Instances

data Host

Contains information about the connection to the host.

Constructors

Host 

Fields

protocol :: Protocol
 
host :: String
 
port :: Maybe Integer
 

Instances

data Protocol

The type of known protocols.

Constructors

HTTP Bool 
FTP Bool 
RawProt String 

Instances

secure :: Host -> Bool

Does this host use a "secure" protocol (e.g., https).

secure_prot :: Protocol -> Bool

Is this a "secure" protocol. This works only for known protocols, for RawProt values we return False.

exportURL :: URL -> String

Convert a URL to a list of "bytes". We represent non-ASCII characters using UTF8.

importURL :: String -> Maybe URL

Convert a list of "bytes" to a URL.

exportHost :: Host -> String

Convert the host part of a URL to a list of "bytes".

add_param :: URL -> (String, String) -> URL

Add a (key,value) parameter to a URL.

decString :: Bool -> String -> Maybe String

Decode a list of "bytes" to a string. Performs % and UTF8 decoding.

encString :: Bool -> (Char -> Bool) -> String -> String

Convert a string to bytes by escaping the characters that do not satisfy the input predicate. The first argument specifies if we should replace spaces with +.

ok_host :: Char -> Bool

ok_url :: Char -> Bool

Characters that do not need to be encoded in URL

ok_param :: Char -> Bool

ok_path :: Char -> Bool

Characters that can appear non % encoded in the path part of the URL

exportParams :: [(String, String)] -> String

importParams :: String -> Maybe [(String, String)]
