URI::Generic#hostname

hostname

def hostname
  v = self.host
  /\A\[(.*)\]\z/ =~ v ? $1 : v
end

Extract the host part of the URI and unwrap brackets for IPv6 addresses.

This method is the same as URI::Generic#host except brackets for IPv6 (and future IP) addresses are removed.

Example

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