static_url_base::set

static_url_base::set_host

(Inherited from url_base)

Set the host.

Synopsis

url_base&
set_host(
    core::string_view s);

Description

Depending on the contents of the passed string, this function sets the host:

If the string is a valid IPv4 address, then the host is set to the address. The host type is host_type::ipv4.
If the string is a valid IPv6 address enclosed in square brackets, then the host is set to that address. The host type is host_type::ipv6.
If the string is a valid IPvFuture address enclosed in square brackets, then the host is set to that address. The host type is host_type::ipvfuture.
Otherwise, the host name is set to the string, which may be empty. Reserved characters in the string are percent-escaped in the result. The host type is host_type::name.

In all cases, when this function returns, the URL contains an authority.

Example

assert( [link url.ref.boost__urls__url_base.url `url`]( "http://www.example.com" ).[link url.ref.boost__urls__static_url_base.set_host `set_host`]( "127.0.0.1" ).[link url.ref.boost__urls__static_url_base.buffer `buffer`]() == "http://127.0.0.1" );

Postconditions

this->[link url.ref.boost__urls__static_url_base.has_authority `has_authority`]() == true

Complexity

Linear in this->size() + s.size().

Exception Safety

Strong guarantee. Calls to allocate may throw.

Parameters

Name	Description
`s`	The string to set.

BNF

[link url.ref.boost__urls__static_url_base.host `host`]        = IP-literal / IPv4address / reg-[link url.ref.boost__urls__host_type `name`]

IP-literal  = "[" ( IPv6address / IPvFuture  ) "]"

reg-[link url.ref.boost__urls__host_type `name`]    = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / "-" / "." )
