url_base::set_host_address

Set the host to an address.

Synopsis
url_base&
set_host_address(
    string_view s);
Description

Depending on the contents of the passed string, this function sets the host:

In all cases, when this function returns, the URL contains an authority.

Example
assert( url( "http://www.example.com" ).set_host_address( "127.0.0.1" ).buffer() == "http://127.0.0.1" );
Postconditions
this->has_authority() == true
Complexity

Linear in s.size().

Exception Safety

Strong guarantee. Calls to allocate may throw.

Parameters

Name

Description

s

The string to set.
