KUrl Class Reference
from PyKDE4.kdecore import *
Inherits: QUrl
Detailed Description
\class KUrl kurl.h <KUrl>
Represents and parses a URL.
A prototypical URL looks like:
protocol://user:password\@hostname:port/path/to/file.ext#reference
KUrl handles escaping of URLs. This means that the specification of a full URL will differ from the corresponding string that would specify a local file or directory in file-operations like fopen. This is because an URL doesn't allow certain characters and escapes them. (e.g. '#'->"%23", space->"%20") (In a URL the hash-character '#' is used to specify a "reference", i.e. the position within a document).
The constructor KUrl(const QString&) expects a string properly escaped, or at least non-ambiguous. If you have the absolute path you should use KUrl.fromPath(const QString&).
KUrl kurl = KUrl.fromPath("/bar/#foo#"); QString url = kurl.url(); // -> "file:bar/%23foo%23"
If you have the URL of a local file or directory and need the absolute path, you would use toLocalFile().
KUrl url( "file:bar/%23foo%23" ); ... if ( url.isLocalFile() ) QString path = url.toLocalFile(); // -> "/bar/#foo#"
This must also be considered when you have separated directory and file strings and need to put them together. While you can simply concatenate normal path strings, you must take care if the directory-part is already an escaped URL. (This might be needed if the user specifies a relative path, and your program supplies the rest from elsewhere.)
Wrong:
QString dirUrl = "file:bar/"; QString fileName = "#foo#"; QString invalidURL = dirUrl + fileName; // -> "file:bar/#foo#" won't behave like you would expect.Instead you should use addPath(): Right:
KUrl url( "file:bar/" ); QString fileName = "#foo#"; url.addPath( fileName ); QString validURL = url.url(); // -> "file:bar/%23foo%23"
Also consider that some URLs contain the password, but this shouldn't be visible. Your program should use prettyUrl() every time it displays a URL, whether in the GUI or in debug output or...
KUrl url( "ftp://name:password@ftp.faraway.org/bar/%23foo%23"); QString visibleURL = url.prettyUrl(); // -> "ftp://name@ftp.faraway.org/bar/%23foo%23"Note that prettyUrl() doesn't change the character escapes (like "%23"). Otherwise the URL would be invalid and the user wouldn't be able to use it in another context.

Method Documentation
__init__ | ( | self ) |
Constructs an empty URL.
__init__ | ( | self, | ||
QString | urlOrPath | |||
) |
Constructor taking a QByteArray urlOrPath, which is an _encoded_ representation of the URL, exactly like the usual constructor. This is useful when the URL, in its encoded form, is strictly ascii.
- Parameters:
-
urlOrPath An encoded URL, or a path.
__init__ | ( | self, | ||
QString | urlOrPath | |||
) |
Constructor taking a QByteArray urlOrPath, which is an _encoded_ representation of the URL, exactly like the usual constructor. This is useful when the URL, in its encoded form, is strictly ascii.
- Parameters:
-
urlOrPath An encoded URL, or a path.
__init__ | ( | self, | ||
QByteArray | urlOrPath | |||
) |
Constructor taking a QByteArray urlOrPath, which is an _encoded_ representation of the URL, exactly like the usual constructor. This is useful when the URL, in its encoded form, is strictly ascii.
- Parameters:
-
urlOrPath An encoded URL, or a path.
__init__ | ( | self, | ||
KUrl | u | |||
) |
Converts from a QUrl.
- Parameters:
-
u the QUrl
__init__ | ( | self, | ||
QUrl | u | |||
) |
Converts from a QUrl.
- Parameters:
-
u the QUrl
Constructor allowing relative URLs.
- Parameters:
-
_baseurl The base url. _rel_url A relative or absolute URL. If this is an absolute URL then _baseurl will be ignored. If this is a relative URL it will be combined with _baseurl. Note that _rel_url should be encoded too, in any case. So do NOT pass a path here (use setPath or addPath instead).
addPath | ( | self, | ||
QString | txt | |||
) |
Adds to the current path. Assumes that the current path is a directory. txt is appended to the current path. The function adds '/' if needed while concatenating. This means it does not matter whether the current path has a trailing '/' or not. If there is none, it becomes appended. If txt has a leading '/' then this one is stripped.
- Parameters:
-
txt The text to add. It is considered to be decoded.
Add an additional query item. To replace an existing query item, the item should first be removed with removeQueryItem()
- Parameters:
-
_item Name of item to add _value Value of item to add
adjustPath | ( | self, | ||
KUrl.AdjustPathOption | trailing | |||
) |
Add or remove a trailing slash to/from the path.
If the URL has no path, then no '/' is added anyway. And on the other side: If the path is "/", then this character won't be stripped. Reason: "ftp://weis\@host" means something completely different than "ftp://weis\@host/". So adding or stripping the '/' would really alter the URL, while "ftp://host/path" and "ftp://host/path/" mean the same directory.
- Parameters:
-
trailing RemoveTrailingSlash strips any trailing '/' and AddTrailingSlash adds a trailing '/' if there is none yet
bool cd | ( | self, | ||
QString | _dir | |||
) |
Changes the directory by descending into the given directory. It is assumed the current URL represents a directory. If dir starts with a "/" the current URL will be "protocol://host/dir" otherwise _dir will be appended to the path. _dir can be ".." This function won't strip protocols. That means that when you are in file:dir/dir2/my.tgz#tar:/ and you do cd("..") you will still be in file:dir/dir2/my.tgz#tar:/
- Parameters:
-
_dir the directory to change to
- Returns:
- true if successful
cleanPath | ( | self, | ||
KUrl.CleanPathOption | options=KUrl.SimplifyDirSeparators | |||
) |
Resolves "." and ".." components in path. Some servers seem not to like the removal of extra '/' even though it is against the specification in RFC 2396.
- Parameters:
-
options use KeepDirSeparators if you don't want to remove consecutive occurrences of directory separator
bool cmp | ( | self, | ||
KUrl | u, | |||
bool | ignore_trailing=0 | |||
) |
The same as equals(), just with a less obvious name. Compares this url with u.
- Parameters:
-
u the URL to compare this one with. ignore_trailing set to true to ignore trailing '/' characters.
- Returns:
- True if both urls are the same. If at least one of the urls is invalid, false is returned.
- See also:
- operator==. This function should be used if you want to ignore trailing '/' characters.
- Deprecated:
- Use equals() instead.
QString directory | ( | self, | ||
KUrl.DirectoryOptions | options=KUrl.IgnoreTrailingSlash | |||
) |
Returns the directory of the path.
- Parameters:
-
options a set of DirectoryOption flags
- Returns:
- The directory part of the current path. Everything between the last and the second last '/' is returned. For example <tt>file:hallo/torben/</tt> would return "/hallo/torben/" while <tt>file:hallo/torben</tt> would return "hallo/". The returned string is decoded. QString() is returned when there is no path.
QString encodedHtmlRef | ( | self ) |
Returns the HTML reference (the part of the URL after "#") in encoded form.
- Returns:
- The HTML-style reference in its original form.
QString encodedPathAndQuery | ( | self, | ||
KUrl.AdjustPathOption | trailing=KUrl.LeaveTrailingSlash, | |||
KUrl.EncodedPathAndQueryOptions | options=KUrl.PermitEmptyPath | |||
) |
Returns the encoded path and the query.
- Parameters:
-
trailing add or remove a trailing '/', see adjustPath options a set of flags from EncodedPathAndQueryOption
- Returns:
- The concatenation of the encoded path , '?' and the encoded query.
bool equals | ( | self, | ||
KUrl | u, | |||
KUrl.EqualsOptions | options=0 | |||
) |
Compares this url with u.
- Parameters:
-
u the URL to compare this one with. options a set of EqualsOption flags
- Returns:
- True if both urls are the same. If at least one of the urls is invalid, false is returned.
- See also:
- operator==. This function should be used if you want to set additional options, like ignoring trailing '/' characters.
QString fileEncoding | ( | self ) |
Returns encoding information from url, the content of the "charset" parameter.
- Returns:
- An encoding suitable for QTextCodec.codecForName() or QString() if not encoding was specified.
QString fileName | ( | self, | ||
KUrl.DirectoryOptions | options=KUrl.IgnoreTrailingSlash | |||
) |
Returns the filename of the path.
- Parameters:
-
options a set of DirectoryOption flags. (StripTrailingSlashFromResult has no effect)
- Returns:
- The filename of the current path. The returned string is decoded. Null if there is no file (and thus no path).
bool hasHTMLRef | ( | self ) |
Checks whether there is a HTML reference.
- Returns:
- true if the URL has an HTML-style reference.
- See also:
- htmlRef()
bool hasHost | ( | self ) |
Test to see if this URL has a hostname included in it.
- Returns:
- true if the URL has a host

- Returns:
- true if there is a path
bool hasRef | ( | self ) |
Checks whether the URL has a reference part.
- Returns:
- true if the URL has a reference part. In a URL like http://www.kde.org/kdebase.tar#tar:/README it would return true, too.
bool hasSubUrl | ( | self ) |
Checks whether the URL has any sub URLs. See split() for examples for sub URLs.
- Returns:
- true if the file has at least one sub URL.

- Returns:
- true if the file is a plain local file and has no filter protocols attached to it.
bool isParentOf | ( | self, | ||
KUrl | u | |||
) |
Checks whether the given URL is parent of this URL. For instance, ftp://host/dir/ is a parent of ftp://host/dir/subdir/subsubdir/.

QString path | ( | self, | ||
KUrl.AdjustPathOption | trailing=KUrl.LeaveTrailingSlash | |||
) |
- Parameters:
-
trailing use to add or remove a trailing slash to/from the path. see adjustPath

- The current decoded path. This does not include the query. Can be QString() if no path is set.
QString pathOrUrl | ( | self ) |
Overload with trailing parameter
- Parameters:
-
trailing use to add or remove a trailing slash to/from the path. see adjustPath.
- Since:
- 4.2
QString pathOrUrl | ( | self, | ||
KUrl.AdjustPathOption | trailing | |||
) |
Overload with trailing parameter
- Parameters:
-
trailing use to add or remove a trailing slash to/from the path. see adjustPath.
- Since:
- 4.2
populateMimeData | ( | self, | ||
QMimeData | mimeData, | |||
{QString:QString} | metaData=KUrl.MetaDataMap(), | |||
KUrl.MimeDataFlags | flags=KUrl.DefaultMimeDataFlags | |||
) |
Adds URL data into the given QMimeData.
By default, populateMimeData also exports the URL as plain text, for e.g. dropping onto a text editor. But in some cases this might not be wanted, e.g. if adding other mime data which provides better plain text data.
WARNING: do not call this method multiple times, use KUrl.List.populateMimeData instead.
- Parameters:
-
mimeData the QMimeData instance used to drag or copy this URL metaData KIO metadata shipped in the mime data, which is used for instance to set a correct HTTP referrer (some websites require it for downloading e.g. an image) flags set NoTextExport to prevent setting plain/text data into mimeData In such a case, setExportAsText( false ) should be called.
QString prettyUrl | ( | self, | ||
KUrl.AdjustPathOption | trailing=KUrl.LeaveTrailingSlash | |||
) |
Returns the URL as string in human-friendly format. Example:
http://localhost:8080/test.cgi?test=hello world&name=fred
- Parameters:
-
trailing use to add or remove a trailing slash to/from the path. see adjustPath.
- Returns:
- A human readable URL, with no non-necessary encodings/escaped characters. Password will not be shown.
- See also:
- url()
QString protocol | ( | self ) |
Returns the protocol for the URL (i.e., file, http, etc.), lowercased.
- See also:
- QUrl.scheme
QString query | ( | self ) |
Returns the query of the URL. The query may contain the 0 character. If a query is present it always starts with a '?'. A single '?' means an empty query. An empty string means no query.
- Returns:
- The encoded query, or QString() if there is none.
Returns the value of a certain query item.
This does the same as QUrl.queryItemValue(), except that it decodes "+" into " " in the value.
- Parameters:
-
item Item whose value we want
- Returns:
- the value of the given query item name or QString() if the specified item does not exist.
{QString:QString} queryItems | ( | self, | ||
KUrl.QueryItemsOptions | options=0 | |||
) |
Returns the list of query items as a map mapping keys to values.
This does the same as QUrl.queryItems(), except that it decodes "+" into " " in the value, supports CaseInsensitiveKeys, and returns a different data type.
- Parameters:
-
options any of QueryItemsOption <em>or</em>ed together.
- Returns:
- the map of query items or the empty map if the url has no query items.
QString ref | ( | self ) |
The reference is never decoded automatically.
- Returns:
- the undecoded reference, or QString() if there is none
setDirectory | ( | self, | ||
QString | dir | |||
) |
Set the directory to dir, leaving the filename empty.
setEncodedPathAndQuery | ( | self, | ||
QString | _txt | |||
) |
This is useful for HTTP. It looks first for '?' and decodes then. The encoded path is the concatenation of the current path and the query.
- Parameters:
-
_txt the new path and query.
setFileEncoding | ( | self, | ||
QString | encoding | |||
) |
Adds encoding information to url by adding a "charset" parameter. If there is already a charset parameter, it will be replaced.
- Parameters:
-
encoding the encoding to add or QString() to remove the encoding.
setFileName | ( | self, | ||
QString | _txt | |||
) |
Sets the filename of the path. In comparison to addPath() this function does not assume that the current path is a directory. This is only assumed if the current path ends with '/'.
Any reference is reset.
- Parameters:
-
_txt The filename to be set. It is considered to be decoded. If the current path ends with '/' then _txt int just appended, otherwise all text behind the last '/' in the current path is erased and _txt is appended then. It does not matter whether _txt starts with '/' or not.
setHTMLRef | ( | self, | ||
QString | _ref | |||
) |
Sets the HTML-style reference.
- Parameters:
-
_ref The new reference. This is considered to be not encoded in contrast to setRef(). Use QString() to remove it.
- See also:
- htmlRef()
setPass | ( | self, | ||
QString | pass | |||
) |
Sets the password (corresponding to user()) included in the URL.
Special characters in the password will appear encoded in the URL. Note that a password can only appear in a URL string if you also set a user.
- Parameters:
-
pass the password to set or QString() to remove the password
- See also:
- setUser
- See also:
- hasUser
setPath | ( | self, | ||
QString | path | |||
) |
setProtocol | ( | self, | ||
QString | proto | |||
) |
Sets the protocol for the URL (i.e., file, http, etc.)
- Parameters:
-
proto the new protocol of the URL (without colon)
setQuery | ( | self, | ||
QString | query | |||
) |
- Parameters:
-
query This is considered to be encoded. This has a good reason: The query may contain the 0 character.
The query should start with a '?'. If it doesn't '?' is prepended.
setRef | ( | self, | ||
QString | fragment | |||
) |
Sets the reference part (everything after '#'). If you have an encoded fragment already (as a QByteArray), you can call setFragment directly.
- Parameters:
-
fragment the encoded reference (or QString() to remove it).
setUser | ( | self, | ||
QString | user | |||
) |
Sets the user name (login, user id, ...) included in the URL.
Special characters in the user name will appear encoded in the URL.
- Parameters:
-
user the name of the user or QString() to remove the user
QString toLocalFile | ( | self, | ||
KUrl.AdjustPathOption | trailing=KUrl.LeaveTrailingSlash | |||
) |
- Parameters:
-
trailing use to add or remove a trailing slash to/from the local path. see adjustPath
- Returns:
- The current local path. Can be QString() if no path is set.
QString toMimeDataString | ( | self ) |
Returns the URL as a string, using the standard conventions for mime data (drag-n-drop or copy-n-paste). Internally used by KUrl.List.fromMimeData, which is probably what you want to use instead.
KUrl upUrl | ( | self ) |
This function is useful to implement the "Up" button in a file manager for example. cd() never strips a sub-protocol. That means that if you are in file:home/x.tgz#gzip:/#tar:/ and hit the up button you expect to see file:home. The algorithm tries to go up on the right-most URL. If that is not possible it strips the right most URL. It continues stripping URLs.
- Returns:
- a URL that is a level higher
QString url | ( | self, | ||
KUrl.AdjustPathOption | trailing=KUrl.LeaveTrailingSlash | |||
) |
Returns the URL as string, with all escape sequences intact, encoded in a given charset. This is used in particular for encoding URLs in UTF-8 before using them in a drag and drop operation. Please note that the string returned by url() will include the password of the URL. If you want to show the URL to the user, use prettyUrl().
- Parameters:
-
trailing use to add or remove a trailing slash to/from the path. See adjustPath
- Returns:
- The complete URL, with all escape sequences intact, encoded in a given charset.
- See also:
- prettyUrl()
QString user | ( | self ) |
Returns the decoded user name (login, user id, ...) included in the URL.
- Returns:
- the user name or QString() if there is no user name
Static Method Documentation
Decode %-style encoding and convert from local encoding to unicode. Reverse of encode_string()
- Parameters:
-
str String to decode (can be QString()).
- Deprecated:
- use QUrl.fromPercentEncoding(encodedURL) instead, but note that it takes a QByteArray and not a QString. Which makes sense since everything is 7 bit (ascii) when being percent-encoded.
Convert unicoded string to local encoding and use %-style encoding for all common delimiters / non-ascii characters.
- Parameters:
-
str String to encode (can be QString()).
- Returns:
- the encoded string
- Deprecated:
- use QUrl.toPercentEncoding instead, but note that it returns a QByteArray and not a QString. Which makes sense since everything is 7 bit (ascii) after being percent-encoded.
Convert unicoded string to local encoding and use %-style encoding for all common delimiters / non-ascii characters as well as the slash '/'.
- Parameters:
-
str String to encode
- Deprecated:
- use QUrl.toPercentEncoding(str,"/") instead, but note that it returns a QByteArray and not a QString. Which makes sense since everything is 7 bit (ascii) after being percent-encoded.
KUrl fromMimeDataByteArray | ( | QByteArray | str | |
) |
Creates a KUrl from a string, using the standard conventions for mime data (drag-n-drop or copy-n-paste). Internally used by KUrl.List.fromMimeData, which is probably what you want to use instead.
Creates a KUrl object from a QString representing an absolute path. KUrl url( somePath ) does the same, but this method is more explicit and avoids the path-or-url detection in the KUrl constructor.
- Parameters:
-
text the path
- Returns:
- the new KUrl
- Deprecated:
- Since KDE4 you can pass both urls and paths to the KUrl constructors. Use KUrl(text) instead.
bool isRelativeUrl | ( | QString | _url | |
) |
Convenience function.
Returns whether '_url' is likely to be a "relative" URL instead of an "absolute" URL.
This is mostly meant for KUrl(url, relativeUrl).
If you are looking for the notion of "relative path" (foo) vs "absolute path" (/foo), use QUrl.isRelative() instead. Indeed, isRelativeUrl() returns true for the string "/foo" since it doesn't contain a protocol, while KUrl("/foo").isRelative() is false since the KUrl constructor turns it into file:foo. The two methods basically test the same thing, but this one takes a string (which is faster) while the class method requires a QUrl/KUrl which gives a more expected result, given the "magic" in the KUrl constructor.
- Parameters:
-
_url URL to examine
- Returns:
- true when the URL is likely to be "relative", false otherwise.
Reverses split(). Only the first URL may have a reference. This reference is considered to be HTML-like and is appended at the end of the resulting joined URL.
- Parameters:
-
_list the list to join
- Returns:
- the joined URL
Convenience function
Returns a relative path based on base_dir that points to path.
- Parameters:
-
base_dir the base directory to derive from path the new target directory isParent A pointer to a boolean which, if provided, will be set to reflect whether path has base_dir is a parent dir.
Convenience function
Returns a "relative URL" based on base_url that points to url.
If no "relative URL" can be created, e.g. because the protocol and/or hostname differ between base_url and url an absolute URL is returned. Note that if base_url represents a directory, it should contain a trailing slash.
- Parameters:
-
base_url the URL to derive from url new URL
- See also:
- adjustPath()
Splits nested URLs like file:home/weis/kde.tgz#gzip:/#tar:/kdebase A URL like http://www.kde.org#tar:/kde/README.hml#ref1 will be split in http://www.kde.org and tar:/kde/README.html#ref1. That means in turn that "#ref1" is an HTML-style reference and not a new sub URL. Since HTML-style references mark a certain position in a document this reference is appended to every URL. The idea behind this is that browsers, for example, only look at the first URL while the rest is not of interest to them.
- Returns:
- An empty list on error or the list of split URLs.
- Parameters:
-
_url The URL that has to be split.
- See also:
- hasSubUrl
Splits nested URLs like file:home/weis/kde.tgz#gzip:/#tar:/kdebase A URL like http://www.kde.org#tar:/kde/README.hml#ref1 will be split in http://www.kde.org and tar:/kde/README.html#ref1. That means in turn that "#ref1" is an HTML-style reference and not a new sub URL. Since HTML-style references mark a certain position in a document this reference is appended to every URL. The idea behind this is that browsers, for example, only look at the first URL while the rest is not of interest to them.
- Returns:
- An empty list on error or the list of split URLs.
- Parameters:
