      • chooseRepr

        public static String chooseRepr​(String src,
                                        String dst,
                                        boolean temp)
        Given two urls, a src and a destination of a redirect, it returns the representative url.

        This method implements an extended version of the algorithm used by the Yahoo! Slurp crawler described here:
        How does the Yahoo! webcrawler handle redirects?

        • Choose target url if either url is malformed.
        • If different domains the keep the destination whether or not the redirect is temp or perm
        • a.com -> b.com*
        • If the redirect is permanent and the source is root, keep the source.
        • *a.com -> a.com?y=1 || *a.com -> a.com/xyz/index.html
        • If the redirect is permanent and the source is not root and the destination is root, keep the destination
        • a.com/xyz/index.html -> a.com*
        • If the redirect is permanent and neither the source nor the destination is root, then keep the destination
        • a.com/xyz/index.html -> a.com/abc/page.html*
        • If the redirect is temporary and source is root and destination is not root, then keep the source
        • *a.com -> a.com/xyz/index.html
        • If the redirect is temporary and source is not root and destination is root, then keep the destination
        • a.com/xyz/index.html -> a.com*
        • If the redirect is temporary and neither the source or the destination is root, then keep the shortest url. First check for the shortest host, and if both are equal then check by path. Path is first by length then by the number of / path separators.
        • a.com/xyz/index.html -> a.com/abc/page.html*
        • *www.a.com/xyz/index.html -> www.news.a.com/xyz/index.html
        • If the redirect is temporary and both the source and the destination are root, then keep the shortest sub-domain
        • *www.a.com -> www.news.a.com

        While not in this logic there is a further piece of representative url logic that occurs during indexing and after scoring. During creation of the basic fields before indexing, if a url has a representative url stored we check both the url and its representative url (which should never be the same) against their linkrank scores and the highest scoring one is kept as the url and the lower scoring one is held as the orig url inside of the index.
        Parameters:
        src - The source url.
        dst - The destination url.
        temp - Is the redirect a temporary redirect.
        Returns:
        String The representative url.

        public static String getPage​(String url)
        Returns the page for the url. The page consists of the protocol, host, and path, but does not include the query string. The host is lowercased but the path is not.

        Test whether a URL is the home page or root page of a host. This is the case if the URL path is / and query, port, fragment, userinfo are empty resp. not given. In other words the URL is: protocol://hostName/

        url - the URL to test
        hostName - the host name to test the URL on
        Returns:
        true if the URL is the home or root page of the host
