It would be useful for the registration of the http scheme to define its use, which I believe it does, and see no useful cause to extend that. >In any case, the section above was written by me long before 2396 >(see RFC 1945) and I nobody asked that it be revised afterwords. >Revising text in a proposed standard is a very painful process. So, to summarize, RFC 2616, which includes the registration for the http URI scheme, includes no explicit support whatsoever for use of the http scheme to identify anything other than HTTP listeners. I'm a lot happier with: http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200210/msg00610.html ------------- Simon St.Laurent - SSL is my TLA http://simonstl.com may be my URI http://monasticxml.org may be my ascetic URI urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.6320 is another possibility altogether
