How to fix bad URI is not URI [duplicate]

Answer 1

uri = URI.parse(URI.encode(url.strip))

Answer 2

try this:

safeurl = URI.encode(url.strip)
response = RestClient.get(safeurl)

Answer 3

This url is not valid, but it works in browser because browser itself is less strict about special characters like :, /, etc.

You should encode your URI first

encoded_url = URI.encode(url)

And then parse it

URI.parse(encoded_url)

Answer 4

Addressable::URI is a better, more rfc-compliant replacement for URI:

require "addressable/uri"
Addressable::URI.parse(url).host
#=> "ferrari-view.4me.it"

gem install addressable first.

Answer 5

URI.parse is right: that URI is illegal. Just because it accidentally happens to work in your browser doesn't make it legal. You cannot parse that URI, because it isn't a URI.

Answer 6

Your URI query is not valid. There are several characters that you should encode with URI::encode(). For instance, #, , or & are not valid in a query.

Below a working version of your code

    require 'uri'

    plContext = URI::encode("http://ferrari-%201363948628-stream.4mecloud.it/live/ferrari/ngrp:livegenita/manifest.f4m")
    cartellaConfig = URI::encode("http://ferrari-4me.weebo.it/static/player/config/")
    cartellaLingua = URI::encode("http://ferrari-4me.weebo.it/static/player/config/")
    poster = URI::encode("http://pusher.newvision.it:8080/resources/img1.jpg")
    urlSkin = URI::encode("http://ferrari-4me.weebo.it/static/player/swf/skin.swf?a=1363014732171")
    target_url = URI::encode("http://ferrari-4me.weebo.it/static/player/swf/player.swf")
    url = "https://ferrari-view.4me.it/view-share/playerp/?"
    url << "plContext=#{plContext}"
    url << "&cartellaConfig=#{cartellaConfig}"
    url << "&cartellaLingua=#{cartellaLingua}"
    url << "&poster=#{poster}"
    url << "&urlSkin=#{urlSkin}"
    url << "&method=GET"
    url << "&target_url=#{target_url}"
    url << "&userLanguage=IT"
    url << "&styleTextColor=#{URI::encode("#000000")}"
    url << "&autoPlay=true&bufferTime=2&isLive=true&gaTrackerList=UA-23603234-4"
    url << "&highlightColor=#{URI::encode("#eb2323")}"  
    puts url
    puts URI.parse(url).host
