URI.parse hex encoded URI

Ruby
1

Hi all and my first greetings to this mailing list,

I’ve a small problem with rubies URI.parse(string) function. It throws
me an
exception when I try to parse an URI like: https://.
which
contains hex encoded characters. Unfortunately it’s no option to decode
uri
before parsing.
How could this matter be solved?

Thanks for your help.

I’m no export on URI but I’ve been using it in a few projects lately
which included also studying the source to understand certain parts.
From my conclusion you’re out of luck, URI and friends adhere to the RFC
and what you ask for simply isn’t as per the RFC (see the source of
uri/common.rb for yourself about all the regexp used in there). What you
have is encoded and you need to decode it.

No idea why your restriction is that you cannot decode it before handing
over to URI.parse, but since you choose to use ruby you also know you
can monkey patch URI.parse, so …
