toUri

@JvmName(name = "uri")
fun toUri(): URI

Returns this URL as a java.net.URI. Because URI is more strict than this class, the returned URI may be semantically different from this URL:

  • Characters forbidden by URI like [ and | will be escaped.

  • Invalid percent-encoded sequences like %xx will be encoded like %25xx.

  • Whitespace and control characters in the fragment will be stripped.

These differences may have a significant consequence when the URI is interpreted by a web server. For this reason the URI class and this method should be avoided.
