# Regexp::Common::URI::http - phpMan

## NAME
    [Regexp::Common::URI::http] -- Returns a pattern for HTTP URIs.

## SYNOPSIS
        use [Regexp::Common] qw /URI/;

        while (<>) {
            /$RE{URI}{HTTP}/       and  print "Contains an HTTP URI.\n";
        }

## DESCRIPTION
  $RE{URI}{HTTP}{-scheme}
    Provides a regex for an HTTP URI as defined by RFC 2396 (generic syntax)
    and RFC 2616 (HTTP).

    If "-scheme => *P*" is specified the pattern *P* is used as the scheme.
    By default *P* is "qr/http/". "https" and "https?" are reasonable
    alternatives.

    The syntax for an HTTP URI is:

        "http:" "//" host [ ":" port ] [ "/" path [ "?" query ]]

    Under "{-keep}", the following are returned:

    $1  The entire URI.

    $2  The scheme.

    $3  The host (name or address).

    $4  The port (if any).

    $5  The absolute path, including the query and leading slash.

    $6  The absolute path, including the query, without the leading slash.

    $7  The absolute path, without the query or leading slash.

    $8  The query, without the question mark.
