Get full hostname and port from a URL in Ruby Language

Posted on July 26, 2021July 26, 2021 by admin

Overview

URI module of ruby can be used to get all parts from a URL.  This module can be used to parse a URL and extract all parts https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.5.1/libdoc/uri/rdoc/URI.html

Once the given URL is parsed correctly, then it will return the URI object. We can then access the below information from the URI

  • Scheme
  • User Info
  • Hostname
  • Port
  • Pathname
  • Query Params
  • Fragment

Once we have all the parts we can concatenate them to get the full hostname along with the port.

Program

Below is the program for the same.

require 'uri'


uri = "https://test:abcd123@techbyexample.com:8000/tutorials/intro?type=advance&compact=false#history"
pasrse_uri = URI(uri)

hostname = pasrse_uri.scheme + "://" + pasrse_uri.hostname + ":" + pasrse_uri.port.to_s

puts hostname

Output

https://techbyexample.com:8000
