uri.pl -- Process URIs
This library provides high-performance C-based primitives for manipulating URIs. We decided for a C-based implementation for the much better performance on raw character manipulation. Notably, URI handling primitives are used in time-critical parts of RDF processing. This implementation is based on RFC-3986:
http://labs.apache.org/webarch/uri/rfc/rfc3986.html
The URI processing in this library is rather liberal. That is, we break URIs according to the rules, but we do not validate that the components are valid. Also, percent-decoding for IRIs is liberal. It first tries UTF-8; then ISO-Latin-1 and finally accepts %-characters verbatim.
Earlier experience has shown that strict enforcement of the URI syntax results in many errors that are accepted by many other web-document processing tools.
- uri_components(+URI, -Components) is det
- uri_components(-URI, +Components) is det
- Break a URI into its 5 basic components according to the
RFC-3986 regular expression:
^(([^:/?#]+):)?(//([^/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))? 12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
- uri_data(?Field, +Components, ?Data) is semidet
- Provide access the uri_component structure. Defined field-names
are:
scheme,authority,path,searchandfragment - uri_data(+Field, +Components, +Data, -NewComponents) is semidet
- NewComponents is the same as Components with Field set to Data.
- uri_normalized(+URI, -NormalizedURI) is det
- NormalizedURI is the normalized form of URI. Normalization is
syntactic and involves the following steps:
- 6.2.2.1. Case Normalization
- 6.2.2.2. Percent-Encoding Normalization
- 6.2.2.3. Path Segment Normalization
- iri_normalized(+IRI, -NormalizedIRI) is det
- NormalizedIRI is the normalized form of IRI. Normalization is
syntactic and involves the following steps:
- 6.2.2.1. Case Normalization
- 6.2.2.3. Path Segment Normalization
- uri_normalized_iri(+URI, -NormalizedIRI) is det
- As uri_normalized/2, but percent-encoding is translated into IRI Unicode characters. The translation is liberal: valid UTF-8 sequences of %-encoded bytes are mapped to the Unicode character. Other %XX-sequences are mapped to the corresponding ISO-Latin-1 character and sole % characters are left untouched.
- uri_is_global(+URI) is semidet
- True if URI has a scheme. The semantics is the same as the code
below, but the implementation is more efficient as it does not need
to parse the other components, nor needs to bind the scheme. The
condition to demand a scheme of more than one character as added to
avoid confusion with DOS path names.
uri_is_global(URI) :- uri_components(URI, Components), uri_data(scheme, Components, Scheme), nonvar(Scheme), atom_length(Scheme, Len), Len > 1. - uri_resolve(+URI, +Base, -GlobalURI) is det
- Resolve a possibly local URI relative to Base. This implements http://labs.apache.org/webarch/uri/rfc/rfc3986.html#relative-transform
- uri_normalized(+URI, +Base, -NormalizedGlobalURI) is det
- NormalizedGlobalURI is the normalized global version of URI.
Behaves as if defined by:
uri_normalized(URI, Base, NormalizedGlobalURI) :- uri_resolve(URI, Base, GlobalURI), uri_normalized(GlobalURI, NormalizedGlobalURI). - iri_normalized(+IRI, +Base, -NormalizedGlobalIRI) is det
- NormalizedGlobalIRI is the normalized global version of IRI. This is similar to uri_normalized/3, but does not do %-escape normalization.
- uri_normalized_iri(+URI, +Base, -NormalizedGlobalIRI) is det
- NormalizedGlobalIRI is the normalized global IRI of URI. Behaves
as if defined by:
uri_normalized(URI, Base, NormalizedGlobalIRI) :- uri_resolve(URI, Base, GlobalURI), uri_normalized_iri(GlobalURI, NormalizedGlobalIRI). - uri_query_components(+String, -Query) is det
- uri_query_components(-String, +Query) is det
- Perform encoding and decoding of an URI query string. Query is a
list of fully decoded (Unicode) Name=Value pairs. In mode (-,+),
query elements of the forms Name(Value) and Name-Value are also
accepted to enhance interoperability with the option and pairs
libraries. E.g.
?- uri_query_components(QS, [a=b, c('d+w'), n-'VU Amsterdam']). QS = 'a=b&c=d%2Bw&n=VU%20Amsterdam'. ?- uri_query_components('a=b&c=d%2Bw&n=VU%20Amsterdam', Q). Q = [a=b, c='d+w', n='VU Amsterdam']. - uri_authority_components(+Authority, -Components) is det
- uri_authority_components(-Authority, +Components) is det
- Break-down the authority component of a URI. The fields of the structure Components can be accessed using uri_authority_data/3.
- uri_authority_data(+Field, ?Components, ?Data) is semidet
- Provide access the uri_authority structure. Defined field-names
are:
user,password,hostandport - uri_encoded(+Component, +Value, -Encoded) is det
- uri_encoded(+Component, -Value, +Encoded) is det
- Encoded is the URI encoding for Value. When encoding
(Value->Encoded), Component specifies the URI component where
the value is used. It is one of
query_value,fragmentorpath. Besides alphanumerical characters, the following characters are passed verbatim (the set is split in logical groups according to RFC3986).- query_value, fragment
- "-._~" | "!$'()*,;" | ":@" | "/?"
- path
- "-._~" | "!$&'()*,;=" | ":@" | "/"
- uri_iri(+URI, -IRI) is det
- uri_iri(-URI, +IRI) is det
- Convert between a URI, encoded in US-ASCII and an IRI. An IRI is a fully expanded Unicode string. Unicode strings are first encoded into UTF-8, after which %-encoding takes place.
- uri_file_name(+URI, -FileName) is semidet
- uri_file_name(-URI, +FileName) is det
- Convert between a URI and a local file_name. This protocol is covered by RFC 1738. Please note that file-URIs use absolute paths. The mode (-, +) translates a possible relative path into an absolute one.
