Greetings. After being prodded to produce an Internet Draft on
historical URI schemes, I completely dropped the ball and didn't
announce the draft to this mailing list. So, here it is:
draft-hoffkohn-rfc1738bis-00.txt
All comments are welcome. There are two open issues listed in the
document, and I look forward to hearing opinions on them.
Section 2.8: will be updated to include specific usage of the file:
scheme on different operating systems
Having done some experimentation, I believe that we can't say much
general about particular operating systems. Instead, it seems like
various versions of browsers and other URL resolvers do different
things for file: based on the whim of the implementer. I can
certainly discuss that in a paragraph, but that's probably all we
need.
References: some of the references are to URLs that no longer work or
are likely to be abandoned in the future. How do we want to deal with
this?
My feeling is that we should remove the references altogether, and
leave the schemes described but not defined. However, I'm open to
other ideas.
