boost::urls::static_url::normalize
Normalize the URL components
Synopsis
Declared in <boost/url/static_url.hpp>
static_url&
normalize();Description
Applies Syntax‐based normalization to all components of the URL.
The scheme is normalized to lowercase.
assert( url( "HTTP://www.example.com" ).normalize().buffer() == "http://www.example.com" );The host is normalized to lowercase. Percent‐encoding triplets are normalized to uppercase letters. Percent‐encoded octets that correspond to unreserved characters are decoded.
assert( url( "http://www.Example.com" ).normalize().buffer() == "http://www.example.com" );
assert( url( "http://www.%65xample.com" ).normalize().buffer() == "http://www.example.com" );Percent‐encoding triplets in the path are normalized to uppercase letters. Percent‐encoded octets that correspond to unreserved characters are decoded. Redundant path‐segments "." and ".." are removed.
assert( url( "http://www.example.com/a/b/../c" ).normalize().buffer() == "http://www.example.com/a/c" );
assert( url( "http://www.example.com/a/./b" ).normalize().buffer() == "http://www.example.com/a/b" );
assert( url( "http://www.example.com/%63ss" ).normalize().buffer() == "http://www.example.com/css" );Percent‐encoding triplets in the query are normalized to uppercase letters. Percent‐encoded octets that correspond to unreserved characters are decoded.
assert( url( "http://www.example.com?a=%62" ).normalize().buffer() == "http://www.example.com?a=b" );Percent‐encoding triplets in the fragment are normalized to uppercase letters. Percent‐encoded octets that correspond to unreserved characters are decoded.
assert( url( "http://www.example.com#%61bc" ).normalize().buffer() == "http://www.example.com#abc" );Applying normalization to a URL with all components percent‐encoded:
assert( url( "HTTP://www.Example.com/%70ath?%71uery#%66rag" ).normalize().buffer() == "http://www.example.com/path?query#frag" );See Also
