Addressable

Installation:

sudo apt-get install libidn11-dev
sudo gem install idn addressable

Usage:

require 'addressable/uri'

# URI Templates
uri = Addressable::URI.expand_template("http://example.com/?q={query}", {
 "query" => "an example query"
})
puts uri
http://example.com/?q=an%20example%20query

# heuristic_parse / normalize
uri = Addressable::URI.heuristic_parse('http:///example.com/"')
puts uri.normalize
http://example.com/%22

# extract_mapping
uri = Addressable::URI.parse('http://intertwingly.net/blog/2007/12/21/foo')
p uri.extract_mapping('http://{host}/blog/{date}/{slug}')
{"slug"=>"foo", "date"=>"2007/12/21", "host"=>"intertwingly.net"}

# IRI
uri = Addressable::URI.parse("http://www.詹姆斯.com/")
puts uri.normalize
http://www.xn--8ws00zhy3a.com/

So, I don’t recognize the cool SVG icon?  Doesn’t seem to parse into easily recognizable characters either.

I actually don’t know the history of that icon.  From what I gather, it dates back to the *IETF* HTML Working Group, and still appears on the w3 protocols page.

The icon looks vaguely like “ID” for Internet Draft. But that doesn’t include the four boxes…

“Internet Draft” makes sense; the colors are those of the W3C logo at the time.

Wasn’t there another HTTP icon on those pages in those days?
