Expand description

@function

Returns nonzero if the |value| which is supposed to be the value of the :authority or host header field is valid according to https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.2

Note that :authority and host field values are not authority. They do not include userinfo in RFC 3986, see https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986#section-3.2.2, that is, it does not include ‘@’. This function treats ‘@’ as a valid character.

|value| is valid if it merely consists of the allowed characters. In particular, it does not check whether |value| follows the syntax of authority.
