Can I use require(“path”).join to safely concatenate urls?

Question

Is this safe to use require(\"path\").join to concatenate URLs, for example:

require(\"path\").join(\"http://example.com\", \"ok\"); 
//returns          


        

Answer 1

This is what I use:

function joinUrlElements() {
  var re1 = new RegExp('^\\/|\\/$','g'),
      elts = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
  return elts.map(function(element){return element.replace(re1,""); }).join('/');
}

example:

url = joinUrlElements(config.mgmtServer, '/v1/o/', config.org, '/apps');
