"construct_server"

Construct a string made of hostname and port

  $hostport = $r->construct_server();
  $hostport = $r->construct_server($hostname);
  $hostport = $r->construct_server($hostname, $port);
  $hostport = $r->construct_server($hostname, $port, $pool);

obj: $r ( "Apache2::RequestRec object" )

The current request object

opt arg1: $hostname ( string )

The hostname of the server.

If that argument is not passed, "$r->get_server_name" is used.

opt arg2: $port ( string )

The port the server is running on.

If that argument is not passed, "$r->get_server_port" is used.

opt arg3: $pool ( "APR::Pool object" )

The pool to allocate the string from.

If that argument is not passed, "$r->pool" is used.

ret: $hostport ( string )

The server's hostport string

since: 2.0.00

Examples:

• Assuming that:

    $r->get_server_name == "localhost";
    $r->get_server_port == 8001;
      

  The code:

    $hostport = $r->construct_server();
      

  returns a string:

    localhost:8001
      

• The following code sets the values explicitly:

    $hostport = $r->construct_server("my.example.com", 8888);
      

  and it returns a string:

    my.example.com:8888
      

"construct_url"

Build a fully qualified URL from the uri and information in the request rec:

  $url = $r->construct_url();
  $url = $r->construct_url($rel_uri);
  $url = $r->construct_url($rel_uri, $pool);

obj: $r ( "Apache2::RequestRec object" )

The current request object

opt arg1: $rel_uri ( string )

The path to the requested file (it may include a concatenation of path, query and fragment components).

If that argument is not passed, "$r->uri" is used.

opt arg2: $pool ( "APR::Pool object" )

The pool to allocate the URL from

If that argument is not passed, "$r->pool" is used.

ret: $url ( string )

A fully qualified URL

since: 2.0.00

Examples:

• Assuming that the request was

    http://localhost.localdomain:8529/test?args
      

  The code:

    my $url = $r->construct_url;
      

  returns the string:

    http://localhost.localdomain:8529/test
      

  notice that the query (args) component is not in the string. You need to append it manually if it's needed.

• Assuming that the request was

    http://localhost.localdomain:8529/test?args
      

  The code:

    my $rel_uri = "/foo/bar?tar";
    my $url = $r->construct_url($rel_uri);
      

  returns the string:

    http://localhost.localdomain:8529/foo/bar?tar
      

"parse_uri"

Break apart URI (affecting the current request's uri components)

  $r->parse_uri($uri);

obj: $r ( "Apache2::RequestRec object" )

The current request object

arg1: $uri ( string )

The uri to break apart

ret: no return value

warning:

This method has several side-effects explained below

since: 2.0.00

This method call has the following side-effects:

1.

sets "$r->args" to the rest after '?' if such exists in the passed $uri, otherwise sets it to "undef".

2.

sets "$r->uri" to the passed $uri without the "$r->args" part.

3.

sets "$r->hostname" (if not set already) using the ("scheme://host:port") parts of the passed $uri.

"parsed_uri"

Get the current request's parsed uri object

  my $uri = $r->parsed_uri();

obj: $r ( "Apache2::RequestRec object" )

The current request object

ret: $uri ( "APR::URI object" )

The parsed uri

since: 2.0.00

This object is suitable for using with "APR::URI::rpath"

"unescape_url"

Unescape URLs

  Apache2::URI::unescape_url($url);

obj: $url ( string )

The URL to unescape

ret: no return value

The argument $url is now unescaped

since: 2.0.00

Example:

  my $url = join '%20', qw(one two three);
  Apache2::URI::unescape_url($url);

$url now contains the string:

  "one two three";
