struct _xmlURI { char * scheme : the URI scheme char * opaque : opaque part char * authority : the authority part char * server : the server part char * user : the user part int port : the port number char * path : the path string char * query : the query string (deprecated - use with caution) char * fragment : the fragment identifier int cleanup : parsing potentially unclean URI char * query_raw : the query string (as it appears in the URI) } xmlURI;
xmlChar * xmlBuildRelativeURI (const xmlChar * URI,
const xmlChar * base)
URI: | the URI reference under consideration |
base: | the base value |
Returns: | a new URI string (to be freed by the caller) or NULL in case error. |
int xmlBuildRelativeURISafe (const xmlChar * URI,
const xmlChar * base,
xmlChar ** valPtr)
Expresses the URI of the reference in terms relative to the base. Some examples of this operation include: base = "http://site1.com/docs/book1.html" URI input URI returned docs/pic1.gif pic1.gif docs/img/pic1.gif img/pic1.gif img/pic1.gif ../img/pic1.gif http://site1.com/docs/pic1.gif pic1.gif http://site2.com/docs/pic1.gif http://site2.com/docs/pic1.gif base = "docs/book1.html" URI input URI returned docs/pic1.gif pic1.gif docs/img/pic1.gif img/pic1.gif img/pic1.gif ../img/pic1.gif http://site1.com/docs/pic1.gif http://site1.com/docs/pic1.gif Note: if the URI reference is really weird or complicated, it may be worthwhile to first convert it into a "nice" one by calling xmlBuildURI (using 'base') before calling this routine, since this routine (for reasonable efficiency) assumes URI has already been through some validation. Available since 2.13.0.
URI: | the URI reference under consideration |
base: | the base value |
valPtr: | pointer to result URI |
Returns: | 0 on success, -1 if a memory allocation failed or an error code if URI or base are invalid. |
xmlChar * xmlBuildURI (const xmlChar * URI,
const xmlChar * base)
Computes he final URI of the reference done by checking that the given URI is valid, and building the final URI using the base URI. This is processed according to section 5.2 of the RFC 2396 5.2. Resolving Relative References to Absolute Form
URI: | the URI instance found in the document |
base: | the base value |
Returns: | a new URI string (to be freed by the caller) or NULL in case of error. |
int xmlBuildURISafe (const xmlChar * URI,
const xmlChar * base,
xmlChar ** valPtr)
Computes he final URI of the reference done by checking that the given URI is valid, and building the final URI using the base URI. This is processed according to section 5.2 of the RFC 2396 5.2. Resolving Relative References to Absolute Form Available since 2.13.0.
URI: | the URI instance found in the document |
base: | the base value |
valPtr: | pointer to result URI |
Returns: | 0 on success, -1 if a memory allocation failed or an error code if URI or base are invalid. |
xmlChar * xmlCanonicPath (const xmlChar * path)
Prepares a path. If the path contains the substring "://", it is considered a Legacy Extended IRI. Characters which aren't allowed in URIs are escaped. Otherwise, the path is considered a filesystem path which is copied without modification. The caller is responsible for freeing the memory occupied by the returned string. If there is insufficient memory available, or the argument is NULL, the function returns NULL.
path: | the resource locator in a filesystem notation |
Returns: | the escaped path. |
xmlURIPtr xmlCreateURI (void)
Simply creates an empty xmlURI
Returns: | the new structure or NULL in case of error |
int xmlNormalizeURIPath (char * path)
Applies the 5 normalization steps to a path string--that is, RFC 2396 Section 5.2, steps 6.c through 6.g. Normalization occurs directly on the string, no new allocation is done
path: | pointer to the path string |
Returns: | 0 or an error code |
xmlURIPtr xmlParseURI (const char * str)
Parse an URI based on RFC 3986 URI-reference = [ absoluteURI | relativeURI ] [ "#" fragment ]
str: | the URI string to analyze |
Returns: | a newly built xmlURIPtr or NULL in case of error |
xmlURIPtr xmlParseURIRaw (const char * str,
int raw)
Parse an URI but allows to keep intact the original fragments. URI-reference = URI / relative-ref
str: | the URI string to analyze |
raw: | if 1 unescaping of URI pieces are disabled |
Returns: | a newly built xmlURIPtr or NULL in case of error |
int xmlParseURIReference (xmlURIPtr uri,
const char * str)
Parse an URI reference string based on RFC 3986 and fills in the appropriate fields of the @uri structure URI-reference = URI / relative-ref
uri: | pointer to an URI structure |
str: | the string to analyze |
Returns: | 0 or the error code |
int xmlParseURISafe (const char * str,
xmlURIPtr * uriOut)
Parse an URI based on RFC 3986 URI-reference = [ absoluteURI | relativeURI ] [ "#" fragment ] Available since 2.13.0.
str: | the URI string to analyze |
uriOut: | optional pointer to parsed URI |
Returns: | 0 on success, an error code (typically 1) if the URI is invalid or -1 if a memory allocation failed. |
xmlChar * xmlPathToURI (const xmlChar * path)
Constructs an URI expressing the existing path
path: | the resource locator in a filesystem notation |
Returns: | a new URI, or a duplicate of the path parameter if the construction fails. The caller is responsible for freeing the memory occupied by the returned string. If there is insufficient memory available, or the argument is NULL, the function returns NULL. |
void xmlPrintURI (FILE * stream,
xmlURIPtr uri)
Prints the URI in the stream @stream.
stream: | a FILE* for the output |
uri: | pointer to an xmlURI |
xmlChar * xmlSaveUri (xmlURIPtr uri)
Save the URI as an escaped string
uri: | pointer to an xmlURI |
Returns: | a new string (to be deallocated by caller) |
xmlChar * xmlURIEscape (const xmlChar * str)
Escaping routine, does not do validity checks ! It will try to escape the chars needing this, but this is heuristic based it's impossible to be sure.
str: | the string of the URI to escape |
Returns: | an copy of the string, but escaped 25 May 2001 Uses xmlParseURI and xmlURIEscapeStr to try to escape correctly according to RFC2396. - Carl Douglas |
xmlChar * xmlURIEscapeStr (const xmlChar * str,
const xmlChar * list)
This routine escapes a string to hex, ignoring unreserved characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, "-._~", a few sub-delims "!*'()", the gen-delim "@" (why?) and the characters in the exception list.
str: | string to escape |
list: | exception list string of chars not to escape |
Returns: | a new escaped string or NULL in case of error. |
char * xmlURIUnescapeString (const char * str,
int len,
char * target)
Unescaping routine, but does not check that the string is an URI. The output is a direct unsigned char translation of %XX values (no encoding) Note that the length of the result can only be smaller or same size as the input string.
str: | the string to unescape |
len: | the length in bytes to unescape (or <= 0 to indicate full string) |
target: | optional destination buffer |
Returns: | a copy of the string, but unescaped, will return NULL only in case of error |
