Given any valid HTTP/HTTPS string, I would like to parse/transform it such that the end result is exactly the root of the string.
So given URLs:
http://foo.example.com:8080/whatsit/foo.bar?x=y
https://example.net/
I would like the results:
http://foo.example.com:8080/
https://example.net/
I found the documentation for URI::Parser not super approachable.
My initial, naïve solution would be a simple regex like:
/\A(https?:\/\/[^\/]+\/)/
(That is: Match up to the first slash after the protocol.)
Thoughts & solutions welcome. And apologies if this is a duplicate, but my search results weren't relevant.
