Beyond that applications may use them in any way they desire. So, whether you have to escape them depends on whoever controls that particular resource. Some schemes draw no dis- tinction here, e.g., data:,@ and data:,%40 refer to the same text. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
