Sorry, but that's not an URI. The URI syntax forbids escapes in the host name. Some browsers and other software accept it, while others don't. In connection with the IRI and IDN work, there is http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idn-uri-01.txt, where this restriction is (partially) removed. Actually, the way I wrote it, the restriction is only removed for octets >=127. I'm not sure this is the best thing to do in terms of uniformity. Any opinions? Regards, Martin.
