class URI

Overview

This class represents a URI reference as defined by [RFC 3986: Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt).

This class provides constructors for creating URI instances from their components or by parsing their string forms and methods for accessing the various components of an instance.

Basic example:

require "uri"

uri = URI.parse "http://foo.com/posts?id=30&limit=5#time=1305298413"
# => #<URI:0x1003f1e40 @scheme="http", @host="foo.com", @port=nil, @path="/posts", @query="id=30&limit=5", ... >
uri.scheme
# => "http"
uri.host
# => "foo.com"
uri.query
# => "id=30&limit=5"
uri.to_s
# => "http://foo.com/posts?id=30&limit=5#time=1305298413"
