KUriFilterData Class Reference

from PyKDE4.kio import *

Detailed Description

A basic message object used for exchanging filtering information between the filter plugins and the application requesting the filtering service.

Use this object if you require a more detailed information about the URI you want to filter. Any application can create an instance of this class and send it to KUriFilter to have the plugins fill out all possible information about the URI.

Example

   QString text = "kde.org";
   KUriFilterData d = text;
   bool filtered = KUriFilter.self()->filter( d );
   cout << "URL: " << text.toLatin1() << endl
        << "Filtered URL: " << d.uri().url().toLatin1() << endl
        << "URI Type: " << d.uriType() << endl
        << "Was Filtered: " << filtered << endl;

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

A message object for exchanging filtering URI info.

Method Documentation

__init__ (   self )

Default constructor.

Creates a UriFilterData object.

__init__ (  self,
KUrl  url
)

Creates a UriFilterData object from the given URL.

Parameters:
url  is the URL to be filtered.

__init__ (  self,
QString  url
)

Creates a UriFilterData object from the given string.

Parameters:
url  is the string to be filtered.

__init__ (  self,
KUriFilterData  data
)

Copy constructor.

Creates a UriFilterData object from another URI filter data object.

Parameters:
data  the uri filter data to be copied.

__init__ (  self,
KUriFilterData  data
)
QString absolutePath (   self )

Returns the absolute path if one has already been set.

Returns:
the absolute path, or QString()
See also:
hasAbsolutePath()

QString argsAndOptions (   self )

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

Returns:
options and arguments when present, otherwise QString()

bool checkForExecutables (   self )

Returns:
true if the filters should attempt to check whether the supplied uri is an executable. False otherwise.

QString errorMsg (   self )

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().

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

bool hasAbsolutePath (   self )

Checks whether the supplied data had an absolute path.

Returns:
true if the supplied data has an absolute path
See also:
absolutePath()

bool hasArgsAndOptions (   self )

Checks whether the current data is a local resource with command line options and arguments.

Returns:
true if the current data has command line options and arguments

QString iconName (   self )

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, or QString() if not found

bool setAbsolutePath (  self,
QString  abs_path
)

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

NOTE: This function should only be used for local resources, i.e. the "file:/" protocol. It is useful for specifying the absolute path in cases where the actual URL might be relative. meta object. If deriving the path from a KUrl, make sure you set the argument for this function to the result of calling path () instead of url ().

Parameters:
abs_path  the abolute path to the local resource.

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

setCheckForExecutables (  self,
bool  check
)

Check whether the provided uri is executable or not.

Setting this to false ensures that typing the name of an executable does not start that application. This is useful in the location bar of a browser. The default value is true.

setData (  self,
KUrl  url
)

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:
url  the URL to be filtered.

setData (  self,
QString  url
)

Sets the URL to be filtered.

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

Parameters:
url  the string to be filtered.

QString typedString (   self )

Returns:
the string as typed by the user, before any URL processing is done

KUrl uri (   self )

Returns the filtered or the original URL.

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

Returns:
the filtered or original url.

KUriFilterData.UriTypes uriType (   self )

Returns the URI type.

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

Returns:
the type of the URI


Enumeration Documentation

UriTypes

Describes the type of the URI that was filtered. Here is a brief description of the types:

  • NetProtocol - Any network protocol: http, ftp, nttp, pop3, etc...
  • LocalFile - A local file whose executable flag is not set
  • LocalDir - A local directory
  • Executable - A local file whose executable flag is set
  • Help - A man or info page
  • Shell - A shell executable (ex: echo "Test..." >> ~/testfile)
  • Blocked - A URI that should be blocked/filtered (ex: ad filtering)
  • Error - An incorrect URI (ex: "~johndoe" when user johndoe
  • does not exist in that system )
  • Unknown - A URI that is not identified. Default value when
  • a KUriFilterData is first created.

    Enumerator:
    NetProtocol = 0
    LocalFile 
    LocalDir 
    Executable 
    Help 
    Shell 
    Blocked 
    Error 
    Unknown
