Regexp::Common::URI::http: Returns a pattern for http uris.

SYNOPSIS

    use Regexp::Common qw /URI/;

    while (<>) {
        /$RE{URI}{HTTP}/       and  print "Contains an HTTP URI.\n";
    }

DESCRIPTION

Provides a regex for an \s-1HTTP\s0 \s-1URI\s0 as defined by \s-1RFC\s0 2396 (generic syntax) and \s-1RFC\s0 2616 (\s-1HTTP\s0).

If \*(C`-scheme => P\*(C' is specified the pattern P is used as the scheme. By default P is \*(C`qr/http/\*(C'. \*(C`https\*(C' and \*(C`https?\*(C' are reasonable alternatives.

The syntax for an \s-1HTTP\s0 \s-1URI\s0 is:

"http:" "//" host [ ":" port ] [ "/" path [ "?" query ]]

Under \*(C`{-keep}\*(C', the following are returned: The entire \s-1URI\s0. The scheme. The host (name or address). The port (if any). The absolute path, including the query and leading slash. The absolute path, including the query, without the leading slash. The absolute path, without the query or leading slash. The query, without the question mark.
