Opaque URIs are not subject to further parsing. Some examples of opaque URIs are: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] news:comp.lang.java urn:isbn:096139210x A hierarchical URI is either an absolute URI whose scheme-specific part begins with a slash character, or a relative URI, that is, a URI that does not specify a scheme.
