static_url::set_password

Set the password.

Synopsis
static_url&
set_password(
    string_view s);
Description

This function sets the password in the userinfo to the string. Reserved characters in the string are percent-escaped in the result.

Remarks

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_password( "pass" ).encoded_userinfo() == "user:pass" );
Postconditions
this->has_password() == true && this->password() == s
Exception Safety

Strong guarantee. Calls to allocate may throw.

Parameters

Name

Description

s

The string to set. This string may contain any characters, including nulls.

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

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