    char *u_rawurl;


    char *u_scheme;


    char *u_userinfo;


    char *u_host;


    char *u_hostname;


    char *u_port;

} nng_url;

DESCRIPTION

An nng_url is a structure used for representing URLs. These structures are created by parsing string formatted URLs with nng_url_parse().

Applications may access individual fields, but must not free or alter them, as the underlying memory is managed by the library.

The fields are as follows:

u_rawurl

The unparsed URL string. This will never be NULL.

u_scheme

The URL scheme, such as "http" or "inproc". Always lower case. This will never be NULL.

u_userinfo

This username and password if supplied in the URL string. Will be NULL when not present.

u_host

The full host part of the URL, including the port if present (separated by a colon.)

u_hostname

The name of the host, and may be the empty string in some cases.

u_port

The port. May be empty if irrelevant or not specified.

u_path

The path, typically used with HTTP or WebSockets. Will be empty string if not specified.

u_query

The query info (typically following ? in the URL.) Will be NULL if not present.

u_fragment

This is used for specifying an anchor, the part after # in a URL. Will be NULL if not present.

u_requri

The full Request-URI (path[?query][#fragment]). Will be the empty string if not specified.


Note

Other fields may also be present, but only those documented here are safe for application use.
