This URL library ends up being a relatively fundamental base library of
the system, as LibCore depends on LibURL.
This change has two main benefits:
* Moving AK back more towards being an agnostic library that can
be used between the kernel and userspace. URL has never really fit
that description - and is not used in the kernel.
* URL _should_ depend on LibUnicode, as it needs punnycode support.
However, it's not really possible to do this inside of AK as it can't
depend on any external library. This change brings us a little closer
to being able to do that, but unfortunately we aren't there quite
yet, as the code generators depend on LibCore.
Otherwise, we percent-encode negative signed chars incorrectly. For
example, https://www.strava.com/login contains the following hidden
<input> field:
<input name="utf8" type="hidden" value="✓" />
On submitting the form, we would percent-encode that field as:
utf8=%-1E%-64%-6D
Which would cause us to receive an HTTP 500 response. We now properly
percent-encode that field as:
utf8=%E2%9C%93
And can login to Strava :^)
This commit un-deprecates DeprecatedString, and repurposes it as a byte
string.
As the null state has already been removed, there are no other
particularly hairy blockers in repurposing this type as a byte string
(what it _really_ is).

Previously, `URLParser` was constructing a new String for every
character of the URL's username and password. This change improves
performance by eliminating those unnecessary String allocations.
A URL with a 100,000 character password can now be parsed in ~30ms vs
~8 seconds previously on my machine.
Parsing 'data:' URLs took it's own route. It never set standard URL
fields like path, query or fragment (except for scheme) and instead
gave us separate methods called `data_payload()`, `data_mime_type()`,
and `data_payload_is_base64()`.
Because parsing 'data:' didn't use standard fields, running the
following JS code:
new URL('#a', 'data:text/plain,hello').toString()
not only cleared the path as URLParser doesn't check for data from
data_payload() function (making the result be 'data:#a'), but it also
crashes the program because we forbid having an empty MIME type when we
serialize to string.
With this change, 'data:' URLs will be parsed like every other URLs.
To decode the 'data:' URL contents, one needs to call process_data_url()
on a URL, which will return a struct containing MIME type with already
decoded data! :^)
By not clearing the buffer, we were leaking the path part of a URL into
the query for URLs without an authority component (no '//host').
This could be seen most noticeably in mailto: URLs with header fields
set, as the query part of `mailto:user@example.com?subject=test` was
parsed to `user@example.comsubject=test`.
data: URLs didn't have this problem, because we have a special case for
parsing them.
In order to follow spec text to achieve this, we need to change the
underlying representation of a host in AK::URL to deserialized format.
Before this, we were parsing the host and then immediately serializing
it again.
Making that change resulted in a whole bunch of fallout.
After this change, callers can access the serialized data through
this concept-host-serializer. The functional end result of this
change is that IPv6 hosts are now correctly serialized to be
surrounded with '[' and ']'.
I misunderstood the spec step for checking whether the host 'ends with a
number'. We can't simply check for it if ends with a number, this check
is actually an algorithm which is required to avoid detecting hosts that
end with a number from an IPv4 host.
Implement this missing step, and add a test to cover this.
This is just a straight (and fairly inefficient) implementation of IPv6
parsing and serialization from the URL spec.
Note that we don't use AK::IPv6Address here because the URL spec
requires a specific serialization behavior.
I was debugging a different issue in Ladybird, and noticed that
completing relative file URLs with URL::complete_url didn't seem to work
right. This test case covers both the working https case, as well as the
file URL case fixed by the previous commit.
This allows accessing and looping over the path segments in a URL
without necessarily allocating a new vector if you want them percent
decoded too (which path_segment_at_index() has an option for).
This now defaults to serializing the path with percent decoded segments
(which is what all callers expect), but has an option not to. This fixes
`file://` URLs with spaces in their paths.
The name has been changed to serialize_path() path to make it more clear
that this method will generate a new string each call (except for the
cannot_be_a_base_url() case). A few callers have then been updated to
avoid repeatedly calling this function.
As noted in serval comments doing this goes against the WC3 spec,
and breaks parsing then re-serializing URLs that contain percent
encoded data, that was not encoded using the same character set as
the serializer.
For example, previously if you had a URL like:
https:://foo.com/what%2F%2F (the path is what + '//' percent encoded)
Creating URL("https:://foo.com/what%2F%2F").serialize() would return:
https://foo.com/what//
Which is incorrect and not the same as the URL we passed. This is
because the re-serializing uses the PercentEncodeSet::Path which
does not include '/'.
Only doing the percent encoding in the setters fixes this, which
is required to navigate to Google Street View (which includes a
percent encoded URL in its URL).
Seems to fix#13477 too
This will make it easier to support both string types at the same time
while we convert code, and tracking down remaining uses.
One big exception is Value::to_string() in LibJS, where the name is
dictated by the ToString AO.
We were dropping the base URL path components in the resulting URL due
to mistakenly determining the input URL to start with a Windows drive
letter. Fix this, add a spec link, and a test.
Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.
Improve the parsing of data urls in URLParser to bring it more up-to-
spec. At the moment, we cannot parse the components of the MIME type
since it is represented as a string, but the spec requires it to be
parsed as a "MIME type record".
Because non-ASCII code points have negative byte values, trimming away
control characters requires checking for negative bytes values.
This also adds a test case with a URL containing non-ASCII code points.
This adds more tests for AK::URL. Furthermore, this also changes some
tests to conform to what the reworked URL class does (and the URL
specification mostly expects).
