domain_name
===========

Synopsis
--------

Domain Name manipulation library for Ruby

Description
-----------

* Parses a domain name ready for extracting the registered domain and
  TLD.

        require "domain_name"

        host = DomainName("a.b.example.co.uk")
        host.domain         #=> "example.co.uk"
        host.tld            #=> "uk"
        host.cookie_domain?("example.co.uk")    #=> true
        host.cookie_domain?("co.uk")            #=> false

        host = DomainName("[::1]")  # IP addresses like "192.168.1.1" and "::1" are also acceptable
        host.ipaddr?        #=> true
        host.cookie_domain?("0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1")  #=> true


Caveats
-------

* It does not currently perform the strict domain label validation
  defined in RFC 5891 and 5892.  It is being worked on on the
  `unicode` branch.

Installation
------------

	gem install domain_name
