Mar 25, 2022

Parsing a URL into its contituent parts is possible via url crate:

use url::Url;
fn main() {
let url = "https://alice:secrets@glenngillen.com:8080/foo?q=bar#baz";
let parts = Url::parse(url).expect("Unable to parse URL");
println!("{}", parts.scheme());
println!("{}", parts.username());
println!("{}", parts.password().expect("no password"));
println!("{}", parts.host_str().expect("no host"));
println!("{}", parts.port().expect("no port"));
println!("{}", parts.path());
println!("{}", parts.query().expect("no query"));
println!("{}", parts.fragment().expect("no fragment"));
}
Hi, I'm Glenn! 👋 I've spent most of my career working with or at startups. I'm currently the Director of Product @ Ockam where I'm helping developers build applications and systems that are secure-by-design. It's time we started securely connecting apps, not networks.

Previously I led the Terraform product team @ HashiCorp, where we launched Terraform Cloud and set the stage for a successful IPO. Prior to that I was part of the Startup Team @ AWS, and earlier still an early employee @ Heroku. I've also invested in a couple of dozen early stage startups.
