Module: RFuzz::HttpEncoding

A mixin that has most of the HTTP encoding methods you need to work with the protocol. It’s used by HttpClient, but you can use it as well.

Methods

encode_cookies encode_field encode_headers encode_host encode_param encode_query escape query_parse unescape

Constants

COOKIE	=	"Cookie"
FIELD_ENCODING	=	"%s: %s\r\n"

Public Instance methods

encode_cookies(cookies)

Converts a Hash of cookies to the appropriate simple cookie headers.

encode_field(k,v)

Encode HTTP header fields of "k: v\r\n"

encode_headers(head)

Encodes the headers given in the hash returning a string you can use.

encode_host(host, port)

HTTP is kind of retarded that you have to specify a Host header, but if you include port 80 then further redirects will tack on the :80 which is annoying.

encode_param(k,v)

URL encodes a single k=v parameter.

encode_query(uri, query)

Takes a query string and encodes it as a URL encoded set of key=value pairs with & separating them.

escape(s)

Escapes a URI.

query_parse(qs, d = '&;')

Parses a query string by breaking it up at the ’&’ and ’;’ characters. You can also use this to parse cookies by changing the characters used in the second parameter (which defaults to ’&;’.

unescape(s)

Unescapes a URI escaped string.
