Class QueryStringDecoder

  • public class QueryStringDecoder
extends Object
    Splits an HTTP query string into a path string and key-value parameter pairs. This decoder is for one time use only. Create a new instance for each URI: 
     QueryStringDecoder decoder = new QueryStringDecoder("/hello?recipient=world&x=1;y=2");
 assert decoder.path().equals("/hello");
 assert decoder.parameters().get("recipient").get(0).equals("world");
 assert decoder.parameters().get("x").get(0).equals("1");
 assert decoder.parameters().get("y").get(0).equals("2");
    This decoder can also decode the content of an HTTP POST request whose content type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded: 
     QueryStringDecoder decoder = new QueryStringDecoder("recipient=world&x=1;y=2", false);
 ...

    HashDOS vulnerability fix

    As a workaround to the HashDOS vulnerability, the decoder limits the maximum number of decoded key-value parameter pairs, up to 1024 by default, and you can configure it when you construct the decoder by passing an additional integer parameter.

    • Method Detail

      • path

        public String path()
        Returns the decoded path string of the URI.

      • parameters

        public Map<String,​List<String>> parameters()
        Returns the decoded key-value parameter pairs of the URI.

      • rawPath

        public String rawPath()
        Returns the raw path string of the URI.

      • rawQuery

        public String rawQuery()
        Returns raw query string of the URI.

      • decodeComponent

        public static String decodeComponent​(String s)
        Decodes a bit of a URL encoded by a browser.

        This is equivalent to calling decodeComponent(String, Charset) with the UTF-8 charset (recommended to comply with RFC 3986, Section 2).

        Parameters:
        s - The string to decode (can be empty).
        Returns:
        The decoded string, or s if there's nothing to decode. If the string to decode is null, returns an empty string.
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the string contains a malformed escape sequence.

      • decodeComponent

        public static String decodeComponent​(String s,
                                     Charset charset)
        Decodes a bit of a URL encoded by a browser.

        The string is expected to be encoded as per RFC 3986, Section 2. This is the encoding used by JavaScript functions encodeURI and encodeURIComponent, but not escape. For example in this encoding, é (in Unicode U+00E9 or in UTF-8 0xC3 0xA9) is encoded as %C3%A9 or %c3%a9.

        This is essentially equivalent to calling URLDecoder.decode(String, String) except that it's over 2x faster and generates less garbage for the GC. Actually this function doesn't allocate any memory if there's nothing to decode, the argument itself is returned.

        Parameters:
        s - The string to decode (can be empty).
        charset - The charset to use to decode the string (should really be CharsetUtil.UTF_8.
        Returns:
        The decoded string, or s if there's nothing to decode. If the string to decode is null, returns an empty string.
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the string contains a malformed escape sequence.
