This Assembly Language program demonstrates URL parsing. It takes a hardcoded URL and parses it into its components: scheme, user, host, port, path, fragment, and query.
The program uses several helper functions to parse different parts of the URL. It’s important to note that this is a simplified implementation and doesn’t handle all possible URL formats or error cases.
To run this program:
- Save the code in a file, for example,
url_parsing.asm
. - Assemble the code using NASM:
nasm -f elf url_parsing.asm
- Link the object file:
ld -m elf_i386 url_parsing.o -o url_parsing
- Run the program:
./url_parsing
The output will display the different components of the parsed URL.
Note that Assembly Language doesn’t have built-in functions for URL parsing like higher-level languages do. This implementation is a basic example and would need to be expanded for more robust URL parsing capabilities.
