5/2 I'm trying to figure out what delimiters inside the "scheme"
(protocol) portion of a uri may mean. (In http://foo.com http is
the scheme) I have seen ssl+http sometimes. Are there any other
charcters that have special meaning, like plus? The standard is
not very clear on this.
\_ The scheme of a uri is anything before the first :. I think
it needs to be word characters, but I haven't checked on that
in a while. The most common ones are probably http, https, ftp,
mailto, and things like rtsp and stuff. gopher, if you're old
school.
\_ Right, but I'm programming an RMI service, and I think I
need to support things like ssl+myprotocol://blah...
\_ From the rfc, the scheme must start with an alpha character,
and can contain alpha, digit, +, -, or . |
