boost::urls::url_base::remove_password

Remove the password

Synopsis

Declared in <include/boost/url/url_base.hpp>

url_base&
remove_password() noexcept;

Description

This function removes the password from the userinfo if a password exists. If there is no userinfo or no authority, the call has no effect.

The interpretation of the userinfo as individual user and password components is scheme‐dependent. Transmitting passwords in URLs is deprecated. 
assert( url( "http://user:pass@example.com" ).remove_password().authority().buffer() == "user@example.com" );
this->has_password() == false && this->encoded_password().empty() == true

Linear in `this‐>size()`.

Throws nothing.

userinfo      = [ [ user ] [ ':' password ] ]

user          = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims )
password      = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / ":" )
