RFC 3986, which is referenced in the Web addresses specification, states "In some cases, extra whitespace (spaces, line-breaks, tabs, etc.) may have to be added to break a long URI across lines. The whitespace should be ignored when the URI is extracted." Firefox's behavior appears to be consistent with this. -Alex -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
