Encode a URL to a percent-encoded form, excluding already-encoded sequences
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
This is a [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) module available through the
|
|
[npm registry](https://www.npmjs.com/). Installation is done using the
|
|
[`npm install` command](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-npm-packages-locally):
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ npm install encodeurl
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var encodeUrl = require('encodeurl')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### encodeUrl(url)
|
|
|
|
Encode a URL to a percent-encoded form, excluding already-encoded sequences.
|
|
|
|
This function will take an already-encoded URL and encode all the non-URL
|
|
code points (as UTF-8 byte sequences). This function will not encode the
|
|
"%" character unless it is not part of a valid sequence (`%20` will be
|
|
left as-is, but `%foo` will be encoded as `%25foo`).
|
|
|
|
This encode is meant to be "safe" and does not throw errors. It will try as
|
|
hard as it can to properly encode the given URL, including replacing any raw,
|
|
unpaired surrogate pairs with the Unicode replacement character prior to
|
|
encoding.
|
|
|
|
This function is _similar_ to the intrinsic function `encodeURI`, except it
|
|
will not encode the `%` character if that is part of a valid sequence, will
|
|
not encode `[` and `]` (for IPv6 hostnames) and will replace raw, unpaired
|
|
surrogate pairs with the Unicode replacement character (instead of throwing).
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
### Encode a URL containing user-controled data
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var encodeUrl = require('encodeurl')
|
|
var escapeHtml = require('escape-html')
|
|
|
|
http.createServer(function onRequest (req, res) {
|
|
// get encoded form of inbound url
|
|
var url = encodeUrl(req.url)
|
|
|
|
// create html message
|
|
var body = '<p>Location ' + escapeHtml(url) + ' not found</p>'
|
|
|
|
// send a 404
|
|
res.statusCode = 404
|
|
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html; charset=UTF-8')
|
|
res.setHeader('Content-Length', String(Buffer.byteLength(body, 'utf-8')))
|
|
res.end(body, 'utf-8')
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Encode a URL for use in a header field
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var encodeUrl = require('encodeurl')
|
|
var escapeHtml = require('escape-html')
|
|
var url = require('url')
|
|
|
|
http.createServer(function onRequest (req, res) {
|
|
// parse inbound url
|
|
var href = url.parse(req)
|
|
|
|
// set new host for redirect
|
|
href.host = 'localhost'
|
|
href.protocol = 'https:'
|
|
href.slashes = true
|
|
|
|
// create location header
|
|
var location = encodeUrl(url.format(href))
|
|
|
|
// create html message
|
|
var body = '<p>Redirecting to new site: ' + escapeHtml(location) + '</p>'
|
|
|
|
// send a 301
|
|
res.statusCode = 301
|
|
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html; charset=UTF-8')
|
|
res.setHeader('Content-Length', String(Buffer.byteLength(body, 'utf-8')))
|
|
res.setHeader('Location', location)
|
|
res.end(body, 'utf-8')
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
