Remove the password

Synopsis

Declared in <boost/url/static_url.hpp>

The interpretation of the userinfo as individual user and password components is scheme‐dependent. Transmitting passwords in URLs is deprecated.

Example

assert( url( "http://user:pass@example.com" ).remove_password().authority().buffer() == "user@example.com" );

Postconditions

this->has_password() == false && this->encoded_password().empty() == true

Complexity

Linear in this‐>size().

Exception Safety

Throws nothing.
