Subject: [PATCH v3 5/8] urlmatch: define url_parse function
Date: Sat, 02 May 2026 05:28:39 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <89932a70f3ace6ff1198628873df702f40f1442a.1777699722.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.1715.v3.git.git.1777699722.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Matheus Afonso Martins Moreira <matheus@matheusmoreira.com>
Define url_parse, a general parsing function that supports all Git URLs
including scp style URLs such as hostname:~user/repo.
It is adapted from the algorithm in connect.c's parse_connect_url
and reuses the shared enum url_scheme and url_get_scheme function
that previous commits made available in url.h. The new parser and
the connect path agree on scheme classification. url_parse has the
same interface as url_normalize and uses the same data structures.
Both functions accept the same URL forms with one deliberate
exception. Bare local paths such as "/abs/path", "./rel"
or "repo" are accepted by parse_connect_url as URL_SCHEME_LOCAL,
but rejected by url_parse because url_normalize requires a URL
with a scheme://host form. A consumer that wants to handle both
URLs and local paths needs to dispatch on url_is_local_not_ssh
before calling url_parse, just as the connect path does internally.
The duplication with parse_connect_url is intentional.
The two functions have different contracts:
- parse_connect_url
Calls die() on an unknown scheme
and returns NUL-terminated host/path
strings for the connect path
- url_parse
Returns NULL on failure while populating
out_info->err, and exposes components
as offset/length pairs into the normalized
URL buffer, matching url_normalize.
Reconciling both is possible, but not in the scope
of the current patch set.
