Hadrian Zbarcea commented on CAMEL-4427:
----------------------------------------
Per the [URI spec|http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt] section 2.2, "," is a
reserved character, so I also propose:
9. Implement either one of the following. Replace "," as a list separator with
" " (which encoded can become a "+") so URIs would contain:
"channels=camel+activemq+karaf" instead of "channels=camel,activemq,karaf".
Another alternative would be to have multiple channel parametersm like:
"irc://irc.freenode.net?channel=camel&channel=activemq&channel=karaf&etc" which
is cleaner, yet more verbose.
Thoughts?
> Fix URI definition for camel-irc to provide valid URIs

>
> Hash signs '#' are not quite allowed in URIs. While they do mark a URI
> fragment, a URI cannot have more than one fragment (and hence '#' signs) and
> URI parameters must appear before the fragment.
> The [IRC spec|http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/rfc/rfc.html] mandates channel
> names to start with either a '&' or a '#', both not allowed in a URI (i.e.
> need to be escaped). I am proposing the following changes that will make
> camel-irc URIs valid. Current URIs will still be supported but deprecated
> until 3.0.
> The changes/clarifications are:
> 1. Current syntax is supported, yet deprecated
> 2. Current syntax with '#' symbols properly encoded is supported (i.e. a
> channel name will be "%23camel" instead of "camel"
> 3. Make the '#' symbol optional (i.e. "channels=camel,activemq" is equivalent
> with "channels=%23camel,%23activemq"). That makes URIs simpler, if the '#' is
> missing camel-irc will prepend exacly one '#'.
> 4. For channels that start with '&' or double "##", like [freenode
> non-primary channels] encoding is mandatory.
> 5. The userInfo part always represents the username, which could be different
> than the nick. The documentation is not clear on that. By default the nick is
> the same as the username.
> 6. Username is mandatory.
> 7. Deprecate the "username" parameter, it must be supplied in the userInfo
> part of the URI.
> 8. IRC URIs are URLs not URNs; i.e. the scheme must be followed by "://", not
> just ":".
> I will update the code to preProcess() camel-irc URIs to follow the rules
> above and update the documentation.
