nsIStandardURL

netwerk/base/public/nsIStandardURL.idlScriptable

This interface defines the interface to an URL with the standard file path format common to protocols like http, ftp, and file. It supports initialization from a relative path and provides some customization on how URLs are normalized.

Inherits from: nsIMutable Last changed in Gecko 1.9 (Firefox 3)

Implemented by: @mozilla.org/network/standard-url;1. To create an instance, use:

var standardURL = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/standard-url;1"]
                  .createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIStandardURL);
