method

hostname=

v2_6_3 - Show latest stable - Class: URI::Generic

hostname=(v)

public

Sets the host part of the URI as the argument with brackets for IPv6 addresses.

This method is the same as URI::Generic#host= except the argument can be a bare IPv6 address.

uri = URI("http://foo/bar")
uri.hostname = "::1"
uri.to_s  #=> "http://[::1]/bar"

If the argument seems to be an IPv6 address, it is wrapped with brackets.

      v = "[#{v}]" if /\A\[.*\]\z/ !~ v && /:/ =~ v
      self.host = v
    end
