Method: Addressable::URI.convert_path

Defined in:

lib/vendor/addressable/lib/addressable/uri.rb

.convert_path(path) ⇒ Addressable::URI

Converts a path to a file scheme URI. If the path supplied is relative, it will be returned as a relative URI. If the path supplied is actually a non-file URI, it will parse the URI as if it had been parsed with Addressable::URI.parse. Handles all of the various Microsoft-specific formats for specifying paths.

Typically a String path to a file or directory, but will return a sensible return value if an absolute URI is supplied instead.

Examples:

base = Addressable::URI.convert_path("/absolute/path/")
uri = Addressable::URI.convert_path("relative/path")
(base + uri).to_s
#=> "file:///absolute/path/relative/path"

Addressable::URI.convert_path(
  "c:\\windows\\My Documents 100%20\\foo.txt"
).to_s
#=> "file:///c:/windows/My%20Documents%20100%20/foo.txt"

Addressable::URI.convert_path("http://example.com/").to_s
#=> "http://example.com/"

Parameters:

• path (String, Addressable::URI, #to_str)

Returns:

• (Addressable::URI) —

  The parsed file scheme URI or the original URI if some other URI scheme was provided.
