The UriFormatter handles URIs from user-input and escaping.
uf = Gem::UriFormatter.new 'example.com' p uf.normalize #=> 'http://example.com'
Escapes the uri for use as a CGI parameter
# File rubygems/uri_formatter.rb, line 28 def escape return unless @uri CGI.escape @uri end
Normalize the URI by adding “http://” if it is missing.
# File rubygems/uri_formatter.rb, line 36 def normalize (@uri =~ /^(https?|ftp|file):/i) ? @uri : "http://#{@uri}" end
Unescapes the uri which came from a CGI parameter
# File rubygems/uri_formatter.rb, line 43 def unescape return unless @uri CGI.unescape @uri end
