Description

Structure xmlURI

Structure xmlURI
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 char * fragment : the fragment identifier int cleanup : parsing potentially unclean URI }

Function: xmlBuildURI

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.

Function: xmlCanonicPath

xmlChar *	xmlCanonicPath		(const xmlChar * path)

Constructs a canonic path from the specified path.

path:the resource locator in a filesystem notation
Returns:a new canonic path, 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.

Function: xmlCreateURI

xmlURIPtr	xmlCreateURI		(void)

Simply creates an empty xmlURI

Returns:the new structure or NULL in case of error

Function: xmlFreeURI

void	xmlFreeURI			(xmlURIPtr uri)

Free up the xmlURI struct

uri:pointer to an xmlURI

Function: xmlNormalizeURIPath

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

Function: xmlParseURI

xmlURIPtr	xmlParseURI		(const char * str)

Parse an URI URI-reference = [ absoluteURI | relativeURI ] [ "#" fragment ]

str:the URI string to analyze
Returns:a newly build xmlURIPtr or NULL in case of error

Function: xmlParseURIReference

int	xmlParseURIReference		(xmlURIPtr uri, 
const char * str)

Parse an URI reference string and fills in the appropriate fields of the @uri structure URI-reference = [ absoluteURI | relativeURI ] [ "#" fragment ]

uri:pointer to an URI structure
str:the string to analyze
Returns:0 or the error code

Function: xmlPrintURI

void	xmlPrintURI			(FILE * stream, 
xmlURIPtr uri)

Prints the URI in the stream @steam.

stream:a FILE* for the output
uri:pointer to an xmlURI

Function: xmlSaveUri

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)

Function: xmlURIEscape

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

Function: xmlURIEscapeStr

xmlChar *	xmlURIEscapeStr		(const xmlChar * str, 
const xmlChar * list)

This routine escapes a string to hex, ignoring reserved characters (a-z) 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.

Function: xmlURIUnescapeString

char *	xmlURIUnescapeString		(const char * str, 
int len,
char * target)

Unescaping routine, does not do validity checks ! Output is direct unsigned char translation of %XX values (no encoding)

str:the string to unescape
len:the length in bytes to unescape (or <= 0 to indicate full string)
target:optional destination buffer
Returns:an copy of the string, but unescaped
