NAME

       Regexp::Common::URI::http -- Returns a pattern for HTTP URIs.

SYNOPSIS

	   use Regexp::Common qw /URI/;

	   while (<>) {
	       /$RE{URI}{HTTP}/       and  print "Contains an HTTP URI.
";
	   }

DESCRIPTION

   $RE{URI}{HTTP}{-scheme}
       Provides a regex for an HTTP URI as defined by RFC 2396 (generic syntax) and RFC 2616 (HTTP).

       If "-scheme => P" is specified the pattern P is used as the scheme.  By default P is "qr/http/". "https" and "https?" are reasonable
       alternatives.

       The syntax for an HTTP URI is:

	   "http:" "//" host [ ":" port ] [ "/" path [ "?" query ]]

       Under "{-keep}", the following are returned:

       $1  The entire URI.

       $2  The scheme.

       $3  The host (name or address).

       $4  The port (if any).

       $5  The absolute path, including the query and leading slash.

       $6  The absolute path, including the query, without the leading slash.

       $7  The absolute path, without the query or leading slash.

       $8  The query, without the question mark.
