Implementation report on generic URI syntax ------------------------------------------- The test page used was It has been tested on: Mozilla/4.03 [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.5 sun4u; Nav) Lynx/2.7.1 libwww-FM/2.14 MSIE 3.01; Windows 95 NCSA_Mosaic/2.6 (X11;SunOS 4.1.2 sun4m) libwww/2.12 The following features were tested: - Hierarchical URLs * Implemented in http, file, and ftp URLs on all tested applications - Nonhierarchical URLs * Implemented in mailto and news URLs on all tested applications - Escaped encoding * Implemented on all tested applications above - Fragments * Implemented on all tested applications above - Userinfo * Implemented on Lynx/2.7.1 and Mozilla/4.03 (did not test others) - Host/port * Implemented on all tested applications above - Path * Implemented on all tested applications above - Relative path resolution * Lynx/2.7.1, MSIE 3.01, NCSA_Mosaic/2.6 all parse normal examples within compliance limits. There are still a couple cases where Mozilla/4.03 doesn't handle unknown schemes correctly, but people at Netscape claim they will fix those as known bugs once the RFC is done. - Semicolon within a segment * Used in ftp and imap URLs (that is, ";" is reserved for those) Also used in file URLs on VMS systems, but I don't count that. - Query * Used in http and wais URLs - Various types of Base URL * All tested applications support file and http base URLs. All except Mozilla/4.03 supported a test of the "fred" URL scheme as a test of an unknown scheme.
