Path.Combine for URLs?

Question

Path.Combine is handy, but is there a similar function in the .NET framework for URLs?

I\'m looking for syntax like this:

Url.Combine(\"http://MyUrl.         


        

Answer 1

I find the following useful and has the following features :

• Throws on null or white space
• Takes multiple params parameter for multiple Url segments
• throws on null or empty

Class

public static class UrlPath
{
   private static string InternalCombine(string source, string dest)
   {
      if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(source))
         throw new ArgumentException("Cannot be null or white space", nameof(source));

      if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(dest))
         throw new ArgumentException("Cannot be null or white space", nameof(dest));

      return $"{source.TrimEnd('/', '\\')}/{dest.TrimStart('/', '\\')}";
   }

   public static string Combine(string source, params string[] args) 
       => args.Aggregate(source, InternalCombine);
}

Tests

UrlPath.Combine("test1", "test2");
UrlPath.Combine("test1//", "test2");
UrlPath.Combine("test1", "/test2");

// Result = test1/test2

UrlPath.Combine(@"test1\/\/\/", @"\/\/\\\\\//test2", @"\/\/\\\\\//test3\") ;

// Result = test1/test2/test3

UrlPath.Combine("/test1/", "/test2/", null);
UrlPath.Combine("", "/test2/");
UrlPath.Combine("/test1/", null);

// Throws an ArgumentException
