Detailed Description

This is a basic message object used for exchanging filtering information between the filter plugins and the application whenever the application requires more information about the URI than just a filtered version of it. Any application can create an instance of this class and send it to KURIFilter to have the filter plugins fill the necessary information.

Example


   QString text = "kde.org";
   KURIFilterData d = text;
   bool filtered = KURIFilter::self()->filter( d );
   if( filtered )
     print ( "URI: %s\n"Filtered URI: %s\n URI Type: %i\n"Was Filtered: %i"
             text.latin1(), d.uri().url().latin1(), d.uriType(), filtered );

The above code should yield the following output:


   URI: kde.org
   Filtered URI: http://kde.org
   URI Type: 0            <== means NET_PROTOCOL
   Was Filtered: 1        <== means the URL was successfully filtered

enum URITypes { NET_PROTOCOL=0, LOCAL_FILE, LOCAL_DIR, EXECUTABLE, HELP, SHELL, BLOCKED, ERROR, UNKNOWN }

URITypes

Describes the type of URI to be filtered.

This enumerator prvoides the return value for uriType. A breif description for each value:

 KURIFilterData ()

KURIFilterData

Default constructor.

Creates a URIFilterData object.

 KURIFilterData ( const KURL& url )

KURIFilterData

Creates a URIFilterData object from the given URL.

Parameters:
urlis the URL to be filtered.

 KURIFilterData ( const QString& url )

KURIFilterData

Creates a URIFilterData object from the given string.

Parameters:
urlis the string to be filtered.

 KURIFilterData ( const KURIFilterData& )

KURIFilterData

Copy constructor.

Creates a URIFilterData object from another URI filter data object.

Parameters:
datathe uri filter data to be copied.

 ~KURIFilterData ()

~KURIFilterData

Destructor.

bool  hasBeenFiltered ()

hasBeenFiltered

[const]

This method has been deprecated and will always return TRUE. You should instead use the result from the KURIFilter::filterURI() calls.

KURL  uri ()

uri

[const]

Returns the filtered or the original URL.

This function returns the filtered url if one of the plugins sucessfully filtered the original URL. Otherwise, it returns the original URL. See hasBeenFiltered() and

Returns: the filtered or original url.

QString  errorMsg ()

errorMsg

[const]

Returns an error message.

This functions returns the error message set by the plugin whenever the uri type is set to KURIFilterData::ERROR. Otherwise, it returns a QString::null.

Returns: the error message or a NULL when there is none.

URITypes  uriType ()

uriType

[const]

Returns the URI type.

This method always returns KURIFilterData::UNKNOWN if the given URL was not filtered.

void  setData ( const QString& url )

setData

Sets the URL to be filtered.

Use this function to set the string to be filtered when you construct an empty filter object.

Parameters:
urlthe string to be filtered.

void  setData ( const KURL& url )

setData

Same as above except the argument is a URL.

Use this function to set the string to be filtered when you construct an empty filter object.

Parameters:
urlthe URL to be filtered.

bool  setAbsolutePath ( const QString& )

setAbsolutePath

Sets the absolute path to be used whenever the supplied data is a relative local URL.

NOTE: This function works only for a local resource and expects the absolute path to the relative URL set in this meta object. If you are extracting the absolute path from a KURL object, make sure you always set the argument below using KURL::path() instead of KURL::url() so that "file:/" would not be appended! Otherwise, the filter might not be able to make correct determination whether the relative URL locally exists!

Parameters:
abs_paththe abolute path to the local resource.

Returns: true if absolute path is successfully set. Otherwise, false.

QString  absolutePath ()

absolutePath

[const]

Returns the absolute path if one has already been set.

bool  hasAbsolutePath ()

hasAbsolutePath

[const]

Returns true if the supplied data has an absolute path.

QString  argsAndOptions ()

argsAndOptions

[const]

Returns the command line options and arguments for a local resource when present.

Returns: options and arguments when present, otherwise QString::null

bool  hasArgsAndOptions ()

hasArgsAndOptions

[const]

Returns true if the current data is a local resource with command line options and arguments.

QString  iconName ()

iconName

Returns the name of the icon that matches the current filtered URL.

NOTE that this function will return a NULL string by default and when no associated icon is found.

Returns: the name of the icon associated with the resource

KURIFilterData&  operator= ( const KURL& url )

operator=

Overloaded assigenment operator.

This function allows you to easily assign a KURL to a KURIFilterData object.

Returns: an instance of a KURIFilterData object.

KURIFilterData&  operator= ( const QString& url )

operator=

Overloaded assigenment operator.

This function allows you to easily assign a QString to a KURIFilterData object.

Returns: an instance of a KURIFilterData object.

void  init ( const KURL& url = QString::null )

init

[protected]

Initializes the KURIFilterData on construction.
