## Member Function Documentation

## constructor() [1/2]

deprecated ConnectionProvider::InvalidConnection::constructor | ( | string | n_name,
|  | string | n_desc,
|  | string | n_url,
|  | *hash | n_opts,
|  | string | n_error,
|  | hash | urlh
| ) |  |

DEPRECATED: creates the invalid connection object.

Deprecated:
  since Qore 0.9

## constructor() [2/2]

ConnectionProvider::InvalidConnection::constructor | ( | string | name,
|  | string | description,
|  | string | url,
|  | hash | attributes = `{}`,
|  | hash | options = `{}`
| ) |  |

creates the invalid connection object

Parameters

  name | the name of the connection
  description | connection description
  url | connection URL (potentially with password info)
  attributes | various attributes. See below
  options | connection options

See AbstractConnection::constructor() for `attributes` and `options` reference.

Additional Attributes

- `error` a custom error string

## parseUrl()

hash ConnectionProvider::InvalidConnection::parseUrl | ( | string | url | ) |

protected

Parse the URL to a hash.

Parameters

  url | a string with url

Returns
  hash with url - string as url

The reason for this is to avoid a unwanted Qore::parse_url() call in connections with custom parseUrl() implementation.
