http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32762 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-09-17 22:50 ------- The colon is a valid character in a URI after the scheme, where it has no special meaning. Being able to use it there just makes for more flexibility in naming schemes (I like to use it for various internal pipelines, etc.). I shouldn't need to have any special use case to justify it, any more than I should need a special use case for using the letter 'Q' in a URI :-) If it was decided to only support the implicit scheme here, then obviously that is because nobody thought of the fact that an explicit scheme is the only way to generally allow ':' elsewhere in the URI. Since you don't often see ':' in a URI after the scheme, the oversight is understandable :-). But, looking at my patch, I wonder why I used an RE for this, that seems retarded. I must have thought I was going to need an RE for some other reason (a substitution?) and then didn't, but didn't recode it to just use String'startsWith() instead. I'll provide a revised patch. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
