Everywhere only ever expects percent encoding to occur, so let's just
remove this flag altogether. At the same time, replace some
DeprecatedString with StringView.
Parsing 'data:' URLs took it's own route. It never set standard URL
fields like path, query or fragment (except for scheme) and instead
gave us separate methods called `data_payload()`, `data_mime_type()`,
and `data_payload_is_base64()`.
Because parsing 'data:' didn't use standard fields, running the
following JS code:
new URL('#a', 'data:text/plain,hello').toString()
not only cleared the path as URLParser doesn't check for data from
data_payload() function (making the result be 'data:#a'), but it also
crashes the program because we forbid having an empty MIME type when we
serialize to string.
With this change, 'data:' URLs will be parsed like every other URLs.
To decode the 'data:' URL contents, one needs to call process_data_url()
on a URL, which will return a struct containing MIME type with already
decoded data! :^)
In order to follow spec text to achieve this, we need to change the
underlying representation of a host in AK::URL to deserialized format.
Before this, we were parsing the host and then immediately serializing
it again.
Making that change resulted in a whole bunch of fallout.
After this change, callers can access the serialized data through
this concept-host-serializer. The functional end result of this
change is that IPv6 hosts are now correctly serialized to be
surrounded with '[' and ']'.
This doesn't seem trivial enough to be defining in the header like this,
and should not be a performance critical function anyhow.
Also add spec comments while we are at it, and a FIXME since we do not
seem to exactly align.
And use them where applicable. This will allow us to store the host in
the deserialized format as the spec specifies.
Ideally these typdefs would instead be the existing AK interfaces, but
in the meantime, we can just use this.
This allows accessing and looping over the path segments in a URL
without necessarily allocating a new vector if you want them percent
decoded too (which path_segment_at_index() has an option for).
This now defaults to serializing the path with percent decoded segments
(which is what all callers expect), but has an option not to. This fixes
`file://` URLs with spaces in their paths.
The name has been changed to serialize_path() path to make it more clear
that this method will generate a new string each call (except for the
cannot_be_a_base_url() case). A few callers have then been updated to
avoid repeatedly calling this function.
The defaults selected for this are based on the behaviour of URL
when it applied percent decoding during parsing. This does mean now
in some cases the getters will allocate, but percent_decode() checks
if there's anything to decode first, so in many cases still won't.
As noted in serval comments doing this goes against the WC3 spec,
and breaks parsing then re-serializing URLs that contain percent
encoded data, that was not encoded using the same character set as
the serializer.
For example, previously if you had a URL like:
https:://foo.com/what%2F%2F (the path is what + '//' percent encoded)
Creating URL("https:://foo.com/what%2F%2F").serialize() would return:
https://foo.com/what//
Which is incorrect and not the same as the URL we passed. This is
because the re-serializing uses the PercentEncodeSet::Path which
does not include '/'.
Only doing the percent encoding in the setters fixes this, which
is required to navigate to Google Street View (which includes a
percent encoded URL in its URL).
Seems to fix#13477 too
This will make it easier to support both string types at the same time
while we convert code, and tracking down remaining uses.
One big exception is Value::to_string() in LibJS, where the name is
dictated by the ToString AO.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
URL had properly named replacements for protocol(), set_protocol() and
create_with_file_protocol() already. This patch removes these function
and updates all call sites to use the functions named according to the
specification.
See https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-url-scheme
We were decoding and then re-encoding the query string in URLs.
This round-trip caused us to lose information about plus ('+')
ASCII characters encoded as "%2B".
A change was made prior to percent encode plus signs in order to fix an
issue with the Google cookie consent page.
Unforunately, this was treating a symptom of a problem and not the root
cause and is incorrect behavior.
Adds a new optional parameter 'reserved_chars' to
AK::URL::percent_encode. This new optional parameter allows the caller
to specify custom characters to be percent encoded. This is then used
to percent encode plus signs by HttpRequest::to_raw_request.
This isn't a complete conversion to ErrorOr<void>, but a good chunk.
The end goal here is to propagate buffer allocation failures to the
caller, and allow the use of TRY() with formatting functions.
This changes the URL class to use the correct constness for getters,
setters and other methods. It also changes the entire class to use east
const style.
This adds a hostname parameter as the third parameter to
URL::create_with_file_scheme(). If the hostname is "localhost", it will
be ignored (as per the URL specification).
This can for example be used by ls(1) to create more conforming file
URLs.
The m_path member variable has been superseded by m_paths. Thus, it has
been removed. The path() getter will continue to exist as a convenience
method for getting the path joined together as a string.
This adds URL serialization methods which are more in line with the
specification.
The serialize_for_display() method should be used e.g. in the browser
address bar, and as per the spec should not display username and
password. Furthermore, it could decode most percent-encoded code points,
although that is not implemented yet.
This adds a new URL parser, which aims to be compliant with the URL
specification (https://url.spec.whatwg.org/). It also contains a
rudimentary data URL parser.
This adds a few helper functions and a private constructor to
instantiate a data URL to the URL class. These will be needed by the
upcoming URL parser.
This adds the m_username, m_password, m_paths and m_cannot_be_a_base_url
member variables to the URL class. These are necessary for the upcoming
new URL parser.
The deprecated m_path variable shadows the m_paths variable if it is
non-null. This behavior will be removed once the old URL parser has been
removed.
This replaces all occurrences of those functions with the newly
implemented functions URL::percent_encode() and URL::percent_decode().
The old functions will be removed in a further commit.
This adds a few new functions to percent encode/decode strings according
to the URL specification. The functions allow specifying a
PercentEncodeSet, which is defined by the specification. It will be used
to replace the current urlencode() and urldecode() functions in a
further commit.
This commit adds a few duplicate helper functions in the URL class, such
as is_digit() and is_ascii_digit(). This will be cleaned up as soon as
the upcoming new URL parser will replace the current one.
