A URL represents a parsed URL (technically, a URI reference). The general form represented is: [scheme:][//[userinfo@]host][/]path[?query][#fragment] URLs that do not start with a slash after the scheme are interpreted as: scheme:opaque[?query][#fragment] The Host field contains the host and port subcomponents of the URL. When the port is present, it is separated from the host with a colon. When the host is an IPv6 address, it must be enclosed in square brackets: "[fe80::1]:80". The [net.JoinHostPort] function combines a host and port into a string suitable for the Host field, adding square brackets to the host when necessary. Note that the Path field is stored in decoded form: /%47%6f%2f becomes /Go/. A consequence is that it is impossible to tell which slashes in the Path were slashes in the raw URL and which were %2f. This distinction is rarely important, but when it is, the code should use the [URL.EscapedPath] method, which preserves the original encoding of Path. The RawPath field is an optional field which is only set when the default encoding of Path is different from the escaped path. See the EscapedPath method for more details. URL's String method uses the EscapedPath method to obtain the path. // append a query ('?') even if RawQuery is empty // fragment for references, without '#' // host or host:port (see Hostname and Port methods) // do not emit empty host (authority) // encoded opaque data // path (relative paths may omit leading slash) // encoded fragment hint (see EscapedFragment method) // encoded path hint (see EscapedPath method) // encoded query values, without '?' Scheme string // username and password information EscapedFragment returns the escaped form of u.Fragment. In general there are multiple possible escaped forms of any fragment. EscapedFragment returns u.RawFragment when it is a valid escaping of u.Fragment. Otherwise EscapedFragment ignores u.RawFragment and computes an escaped form on its own. The [URL.String] method uses EscapedFragment to construct its result. In general, code should call EscapedFragment instead of reading u.RawFragment directly. EscapedPath returns the escaped form of u.Path. In general there are multiple possible escaped forms of any path. EscapedPath returns u.RawPath when it is a valid escaping of u.Path. Otherwise EscapedPath ignores u.RawPath and computes an escaped form on its own. The [URL.String] and [URL.RequestURI] methods use EscapedPath to construct their results. In general, code should call EscapedPath instead of reading u.RawPath directly. Hostname returns u.Host, stripping any valid port number if present. If the result is enclosed in square brackets, as literal IPv6 addresses are, the square brackets are removed from the result. IsAbs reports whether the [URL] is absolute. Absolute means that it has a non-empty scheme. JoinPath returns a new [URL] with the provided path elements joined to any existing path and the resulting path cleaned of any ./ or ../ elements. Any sequences of multiple / characters will be reduced to a single /. (*URL) MarshalBinary() (text []byte, err error) Parse parses a [URL] in the context of the receiver. The provided URL may be relative or absolute. Parse returns nil, err on parse failure, otherwise its return value is the same as [URL.ResolveReference]. Port returns the port part of u.Host, without the leading colon. If u.Host doesn't contain a valid numeric port, Port returns an empty string. Query parses RawQuery and returns the corresponding values. It silently discards malformed value pairs. To check errors use [ParseQuery]. Redacted is like [URL.String] but replaces any password with "xxxxx". Only the password in u.User is redacted. RequestURI returns the encoded path?query or opaque?query string that would be used in an HTTP request for u. ResolveReference resolves a URI reference to an absolute URI from an absolute base URI u, per RFC 3986 Section 5.2. The URI reference may be relative or absolute. ResolveReference always returns a new [URL] instance, even if the returned URL is identical to either the base or reference. If ref is an absolute URL, then ResolveReference ignores base and returns a copy of ref. String reassembles the [URL] into a valid URL string. The general form of the result is one of: scheme:opaque?query#fragment scheme://userinfo@host/path?query#fragment If u.Opaque is non-empty, String uses the first form; otherwise it uses the second form. Any non-ASCII characters in host are escaped. To obtain the path, String uses u.EscapedPath(). In the second form, the following rules apply: - if u.Scheme is empty, scheme: is omitted. - if u.User is nil, userinfo@ is omitted. - if u.Host is empty, host/ is omitted. - if u.Scheme and u.Host are empty and u.User is nil, the entire scheme://userinfo@host/ is omitted. - if u.Host is non-empty and u.Path begins with a /, the form host/path does not add its own /. - if u.RawQuery is empty, ?query is omitted. - if u.Fragment is empty, #fragment is omitted.

The Userinfo type is an immutable encapsulation of username and password details for a [URL]. An existing Userinfo value is guaranteed to have a username set (potentially empty, as allowed by RFC 2396), and optionally a password. Password returns the password in case it is set, and whether it is set. String returns the encoded userinfo information in the standard form of "username[:password]". Username returns the username. *Userinfo : expvar.Var *Userinfo : fmt.Stringer func User(username string) *Userinfo func UserPassword(username, password string) *Userinfo
Values maps a string key to a list of values. It is typically used for query parameters and form values. Unlike in the http.Header map, the keys in a Values map are case-sensitive. Add adds the value to key. It appends to any existing values associated with key. Del deletes the values associated with key. Encode encodes the values into “URL encoded” form ("bar=baz&foo=quux") sorted by key. Get gets the first value associated with the given key. If there are no values associated with the key, Get returns the empty string. To access multiple values, use the map directly. Has checks whether a given key is set. Set sets the key to value. It replaces any existing values. func ParseQuery(query string) (Values, error) func (*URL).Query() Values func net/http.PostForm(url string, data Values) (resp *http.Response, err error) func net/http.(*Client).PostForm(url string, data Values) (resp *http.Response, err error)

JoinPath returns a [URL] string with the provided path elements joined to the existing path of base and the resulting path cleaned of any ./ or ../ elements.
Parse parses a raw url into a [URL] structure. The url may be relative (a path, without a host) or absolute (starting with a scheme). Trying to parse a hostname and path without a scheme is invalid but may not necessarily return an error, due to parsing ambiguities.
ParseQuery parses the URL-encoded query string and returns a map listing the values specified for each key. ParseQuery always returns a non-nil map containing all the valid query parameters found; err describes the first decoding error encountered, if any. Query is expected to be a list of key=value settings separated by ampersands. A setting without an equals sign is interpreted as a key set to an empty value. Settings containing a non-URL-encoded semicolon are considered invalid.
ParseRequestURI parses a raw url into a [URL] structure. It assumes that url was received in an HTTP request, so the url is interpreted only as an absolute URI or an absolute path. The string url is assumed not to have a #fragment suffix. (Web browsers strip #fragment before sending the URL to a web server.)
PathEscape escapes the string so it can be safely placed inside a [URL] path segment, replacing special characters (including /) with %XX sequences as needed.
PathUnescape does the inverse transformation of [PathEscape], converting each 3-byte encoded substring of the form "%AB" into the hex-decoded byte 0xAB. It returns an error if any % is not followed by two hexadecimal digits. PathUnescape is identical to [QueryUnescape] except that it does not unescape '+' to ' ' (space).
QueryEscape escapes the string so it can be safely placed inside a [URL] query.
QueryUnescape does the inverse transformation of [QueryEscape], converting each 3-byte encoded substring of the form "%AB" into the hex-decoded byte 0xAB. It returns an error if any % is not followed by two hexadecimal digits.
User returns a [Userinfo] containing the provided username and no password set.
UserPassword returns a [Userinfo] containing the provided username and password. This functionality should only be used with legacy web sites. RFC 2396 warns that interpreting Userinfo this way “is NOT RECOMMENDED, because the passing of authentication information in clear text (such as URI) has proven to be a security risk in almost every case where it has been used.”
