uf = Gem::UriFormatter.new 'example.com'

p uf.normalize #=> 'http://example.com'

uri[R]

The URI to be formatted.

new(uri)

def initialize uri
  @uri = uri
end

escape()

               # File rubygems/uri_formatter.rb, line 29
def escape
  return unless @uri
  CGI.escape @uri
end

normalize()

Normalize the URI by adding “http://” if it is missing.

 
               # File rubygems/uri_formatter.rb, line 37
def normalize
  (@uri =~ /^(https?|ftp|file):/i) ? @uri : "http://#{@uri}"
end

unescape()

end
