+# Build HTTP And HTTPS URLs
+
+There are two modules you can use to build URLs in Ruby. The `URI::HTTP` module
+will build URLs with the `http` protocol. And then to build URLs with the
+`https` protocol, you can reach for the `URI::HTTPS` module.
+
+We can specify just the `host` and optionally include a `port` if that is
+needed.
+
+Here is `URI::HTTP` in action.
+
+```ruby
+> URI::HTTP.build(host: 'example.com', port: 3000)
+=> #<URI::HTTP http://example.com:3000>
+
+> URI::HTTP.build(host: 'example.com', port: 3000, protocol: 'https')
+=> #<URI::HTTP http://example.com:3000>
+```
+
+Note that we can try to override the protocol, but it will be ignored.
+
+Here is the `URI::HTTPS` module.
+
+```ruby
+> URI::HTTPS.build(host: 'example.com', port: 3000)
+=> #<URI::HTTPS https://example.com:3000>
+```
+
+If we want the URL as a string, we can call `#to_s` on it.
+
+```ruby
+> URI::HTTPS.build(host: 'example.com', port: 3000).to_s
+=> "https://example.com:3000"
+```
+
+We can even include the `path`, though be sure to include the leading slash.
+
+```ruby
+> URI::HTTP.build(host: 'example.com', port: 3000, path: '/taco/bell')
+=> #<URI::HTTP http://example.com:3000/taco/bell>
+
+> URI::HTTP.build(host: 'example.com', port: 3000, path: 'taco/bell')
+URI::InvalidComponentError: bad component(expected absolute path component): taco/bell
+from /Users/jbranchaud/.asdf/installs/ruby/2.6.6/lib/ruby/2.6.0/uri/generic.rb:761:in `check_path'
+```
