Regexp::Common::URI::http -- Returns a pattern for HTTP URIs. use Regexp::Common qw /URI/; while (<>) { /$RE{URI}{HTTP}/ and print "Contains an HTTP URI.\n"; }

$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: The entire URI. The scheme. The host (name or address). The port (if any). The absolute path, including the query and leading slash. The absolute path, including the query, without the leading slash. The absolute path, without the query or leading slash. The query, without the question mark. Berners-Lee, Tim, Fielding, R., and Masinter, L.: Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax.
