Module Js_of_ocaml.Url

This module provides functions for tampering with Url. It's main goal is to allow one to stay in the Ocaml realm without wandering into the Dom_html.window##.location object.

val urldecode : string -> string

urldecode s swaps percent encoding characters for their usual representation.

val urlencode : ?⁠with_plus:bool -> string -> string

urlencode ?with_plus s replace characters for their percent encoding representation. Note that the '/' (slash) character is escaped as well. If with_plus is true (default) then '+''s are escaped as "%2B". If not, '+''s are left as is.

type http_url = {
hu_host : string;

The host part of the url.

hu_port : int;

The port for the connection if any.

hu_path : string list;

The path split on '/' characters.

hu_path_string : string;

The original entire path.

hu_arguments : (string * string) list;

Arguments as a field-value association list.

hu_fragment : string;

The fragment part (after the '#' character).

}

The type for HTTP(s) url.

type file_url = {
fu_path : string list;
fu_path_string : string;
fu_arguments : (string * string) list;
fu_fragment : string;
}

The type for local file urls.

type url =
| Http of http_url

Non secure HTTP urls

| Https of http_url

Secure HTTPS urls

| File of file_url

Local files

val default_http_port : int

The default port for Http communications (80).

val default_https_port : int

The default port for Https communications (443).

val path_of_path_string : string -> string list

path_of_path_string s splits s on each "/" character.

val encode_arguments : (string * string) list -> string

encode_arguments a expects a list of pair of values of the form (name,value) were name is the name of an argument and value it's associated value.

val decode_arguments : string -> (string * string) list

decode_arguments s parses s returning the sliced-diced association list. s should be only the arguments part (after the '?') not the whole url.

val url_of_string : string -> url option

url_of_string s parses s and builds a value of type url if s is not a valid url string, it returns None.

val string_of_url : url -> string

string_of_url u returns a valid string representation of u. Note that * string_of_url ((fun Some u -> u) (url_of_string s)) is NOT necessarily * equal to s. However url_of_string (string_of_url u) = u.
