The latest version of this topic can be found at CUrl Class.

This class represents a URL. It allows you to manipulate each element of the URL independently of the others whether parsing an existing URL string or building a string from scratch.

Important

This class and its members cannot be used in applications that execute in the Windows Runtime.

Public Operators

Name Description
CUrl::operator = Assigns the specified CUrl object to the current CUrl object.

Remarks

CUrl allows you to manipulate the fields of a URL, such as the path or port number. CUrl understands URLs of the following form:

<Scheme>://<UserName>:<Password>@<HostName>:<PortNumber>/<UrlPath><ExtraInfo>

(Some fields are optional.) For example, consider this URL:

https://someone:secret@www.microsoft.com:80/visualc/stuff.htm#contents

CUrl::CrackUrl parses it as follows:

  • Scheme: "http" or ATL_URL_SCHEME_HTTP

  • UserName: "someone"

  • Password: "secret"

  • HostName: "www.microsoft.com"

  • PortNumber: 80

  • UrlPath: "visualc/stuff.htm"

  • ExtraInfo: "#contents"

To manipulate the UrlPath field (for instance), you would use GetUrlPath, GetUrlPathLength, and SetUrlPath. You would use CreateUrl to create the complete URL string.

Requirements

Header: atlutil.h

CUrl::Canonicalize

Call this method to convert the URL string to canonical form.

inline BOOL Canonicalize(DWORD dwFlags = 0) throw();

Parameters

dwFlags
The flags that control canonicalization. If no flags are specified ( dwFlags = 0), the method converts all unsafe characters and meta sequences (such as \.,\ .., and \...) to escape sequences. dwFlags can be one of the following values:

  • ATL_URL_BROWSER_MODE: Does not encode or decode characters after "#" or "" and does not remove trailing white space after "". If this value is not specified, the entire URL is encoded and trailing white space is removed.

  • ATL_URL _DECODE: Converts all %XX sequences to characters, including escape sequences, before the URL is parsed.

  • ATL_URL _ENCODE_PERCENT: Encodes any percent signs encountered. By default, percent signs are not encoded.

  • ATL_URL _ENCODE_SPACES_ONLY: Encodes spaces only.

  • ATL_URL _NO_ENCODE: Does not convert unsafe characters to escape sequences.

  • ATL_URL _NO_META: Does not remove meta sequences (such as "." and "..") from the URL.

Return Value

Returns TRUE on success, FALSE on failure.

Remarks

Converting to canonical form involves converting unsafe characters and spaces to escape sequences.

CUrl::Clear

Call this method to clear all of the URL fields.

inline void Clear() throw();

CUrl::CrackUrl

Call this method to decode and parse the URL.

BOOL CrackUrl(LPCTSTR lpszUrl, DWORD dwFlags = 0) throw();

Parameters

lpszUrl
The URL.

dwFlags
Specify ATL_URL_DECODE or ATL_URL_ESCAPE to convert all escape characters in lpszUrl to their real values after parsing. (Before Visual C++ 2005, ATL_URL_DECODE converted all escape characters before parsing.)

Return Value

Returns TRUE on success, FALSE on failure.

CUrl::CreateUrl

This method constructs a URL string from a CUrl object's component fields.

inline BOOL CreateUrl(
    LPTSTR lpszUrl,
    DWORD* pdwMaxLength,
    DWORD dwFlags = 0) const throw();

Parameters

lpszUrl
A string buffer to hold the complete URL string.

pdwMaxLength
The maximum length of the lpszUrl string buffer.

dwFlags
Specify ATL_URL_ESCAPE to convert all escape characters in lpszUrl to their real values.

Return Value

Returns TRUE on success, FALSE on failure.

Remarks

This method appends its individual fields in order to construct the complete URL string using the following format:

<scheme>://<user>:<pass>@<domain>:<port><path><extra>

When calling this method, the pdwMaxLength parameter should initially contain the maximum length of the string buffer referenced by the lpszUrl parameter. The value of the pdwMaxLength parameter will be updated with the actual length of the URL string.

Example

This sample demonstrates creation of a CUrl object and retrieving its URL string

   CUrl url;

   // Set the CUrl contents
   url.CrackUrl(_T("https://someone:secret@www.microsoft.com:8080/visualc/stuff.htm#contents"));

   // Obtain the length of the URL string and allocate a buffer to 
   // hold its contents
   DWORD dwUrlLen = url.GetUrlLength() + 1;
   TCHAR* szUrl = new TCHAR[dwUrlLen];

   // Retrieve the contents of the CUrl object
   url.CreateUrl(szUrl, &dwUrlLen, 0L);

   // Cleanup
   delete[] szUrl;
