user
The user subcomponent of the URL.
Declaration
var user: String? { get set }Discussion
The getter for this property removes any percent encoding this component may have (if the component allows percent encoding). Setting this property assumes the subcomponent or component string is not percent encoded and will add percent encoding (if the component allows percent encoding).
Warning: IETF STD 66 (rfc3986) says the use of the format “user:password” in the userinfo subcomponent of a URI is deprecated because passing authentication information in clear text has proven to be a security risk. However, there are cases where this practice is still needed, and so the user and password components and methods are provided.
