URI is a module providing classes to handle Uniform Resource Identifiers RFC3986.

• Uniform way of handling URIs.
• Flexibility to introduce custom URI schemes.
• Flexibility to have an alternate URI::Parser (or just different patterns and regexp's).

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem'uri'

And then execute:

$ bundle 

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install uri 

require'uri'uri=URI("http://foo.com/posts?id=30&limit=5#time=1305298413")#=> #<URI::HTTP http://foo.com/posts?id=30&limit=5#time=1305298413>uri.scheme#=> "http"uri.host#=> "foo.com"uri.path#=> "/posts"uri.query#=> "id=30&limit=5"uri.fragment#=> "time=1305298413"uri.to_s#=> "http://foo.com/posts?id=30&limit=5#time=1305298413"

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
