Set the password.

Synopsis

static_url&
set_password(string_view s);

Defined in file <include/boost/url/static_url.hpp> on line 367

Description

This function sets the password in the userinfo to the string. Reserved characters in the string are percent-escaped in the result.

The interpretation of the userinfo as individual user and password components is scheme-dependent. Transmitting passwords in URLs is deprecated.

Example

assert( url("http://user@example.com").set_password( "pass" ).encoded_userinfo() == "user:pass" );

Postconditions

this->has_password() == true && this->password() == s

Exception Safety

Strong guarantee. Calls to allocate may throw.

BNF

userinfo      = [ [ user ] [ ':' password ] ]

user          = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims )
password      = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / ":" )
