Comment #2 on issue 8426 by [email protected]: We are lowercasing the host
in URLs irrespective of the scheme
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=8426
I'm probably going to mark this as a WontFix. The issue occurs in googleurl
where the
URL is canonicalised. It assumes that the // part is a DNS hostname and
lowercases it.
RFC 2396 says that anything after the : is scheme specific, but then goes
on to
specify the standand // authority scheme. It would be possible to have a
list of URL
schemes for which the authority part is a DNS name, but that would seem
fragile in
the face of future schemes. The complement to that would be special case
this URL
scheme, but that seems like a hack. Unless the googleurl folks have
something to say
about this, I think Flashget was at fault for using the authority form for
something
other than a DNS name.
