class URI::HTTP
The syntax of HTTP URIs is defined in RFC1738 section 3.3.
Note that the Ruby URI library allows HTTP URLs containing usernames and passwords. This is not legal as per the RFC, but used to be supported in Internet Explorer 5 and 6, before the MS04-004 security update. See <URL:support.microsoft.com/kb/834489>.

def self.build(args)
  tmp = Util.make_components_hash(self, args)
  super(tmp)
end
      Description
Creates a new URI::HTTP object from components, with syntax checking.
The components accepted are userinfo, host, port, path, query, and fragment.
The components should be provided either as an Array, or as a Hash with keys formed by preceding the component names with a colon.
If an Array is used, the components must be passed in the order [userinfo, host, port, path, query, fragment].
Example:
uri = URI::HTTP.build(host: 'www.example.com', path: '/foo/bar')
uri = URI::HTTP.build([nil, "www.example.com", nil, "/path",
  "query", 'fragment'])
      Currently, if passed userinfo components this method generates invalid HTTP URIs as per RFC 1738.

def request_uri
  return unless @path
  url = @query ? "#@path?#@query" : @path.dup
  url.start_with?(?/.freeze) ? url : ?/ + url
end
      Description
Returns the full path for an HTTP request, as required by Net::HTTP::Get.
If the URI contains a query, the full path is URI#path + '?' + URI#query. Otherwise, the path is simply URI#path.
Example:
uri = URI::HTTP.build(path: '/foo/bar', query: 'test=true')
uri.request_uri #  => "/foo/bar?test=true"
