boost::urls::url_base::set_encoded_password

Set the password.

Synopsis

Declared in header <boost/url/url_base.hpp>

url_base&
set_encoded_password(pct_string_view s);

Description

This function sets the password in the userinfo to the string, which may contain percent-escapes. Escapes in the string are preserved, and reserved characters in the string are percent-escaped in the result.

The interpretation of the userinfo as individual user and password components is scheme-dependent. Transmitting passwords in URLs is deprecated.

Example

assert( url("http://user@example.com").set_encoded_password( "pass" ).encoded_userinfo() == "user:pass" );

Postconditions

this->has_password() == true

Exception Safety

Strong guarantee. Calls to allocate may throw.

BNF

userinfo      = [ [ user ] [ ':' password ] ]

user          = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims )
password      = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / ":" )
