Apache::URI - URI component parsing and unparsing

SYNOPSIS

         use Apache::URI ();
         my $uri = $r->parsed_uri;

         my $uri = Apache::URI->parse($r, "http://perl.apache.org/");

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides an interface to the Apache util_uri
       module and the uri_components structure.

METHODS

       Apache::parsed_uri
           Apache will have already parsed the requested uri com-
           ponents, which can be obtained via the parsed_uri
           method defined in the Apache class.  This method
           returns an object blessed into the Apache::URI class.

            my $uri = $r->parsed_uri;

       parse
           This method will parse a URI string into uri compo-
           nents which are stashed in the Apache::URI object it
           returns.

               my $uri = Apache::URI->parse($r, "http://www.foo.com/path/file.html?query+string");

           This method is considerably faster than using
           URI::URL:

               timethese(5000, {
                   C => sub { Apache::URI->parse($r, $test_uri) },
                   Perl => sub { URI::URL->new($test_uri) },
               });

            Benchmark: timing 5000 iterations of C, Perl...
              C:  1 secs ( 0.62 usr  0.04 sys =  0.66 cpu)
              Perl:  6 secs ( 6.21 usr  0.08 sys =  6.29 cpu)

       unparse
           This method will join the uri components back into a
           string version.

            my $string = $uri->unparse;

       scheme
            my $scheme = $uri->scheme;
            my $hostinfo = $uri->hostinfo;

       user
            my $user = $uri->user;

       password
            my $password = $uri->password;

       hostname
            my $hostname = $uri->hostname;

       port
            my $port = $uri->port;

       path
            my $path = $uri->path;

       rpath
           Returns the path minus path_info.

            my $path = $uri->rpath;

       query
            my $query = $uri->query;

       fragment
            my $fragment = $uri->fragment;
