Hi,

I'm working on a custom probe for RFC 1759-compliant printers, and I wanted to include 
a link to the RFC in the probe description, like in the description of the HTTP probe.

The Bug:
When you click on the blue underlined text in the HTTP probe description, IM launches 
your browser and sends you to a URL of 
http://info.internet.isi.edu:80/in-notes/rfc/files/rfc<number>.txt.  This results in a 
"Not Found" message.  It looks like someone has moved the RFC files.  FYI, the URL 
http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc<number>.txt works correctly - at least it worked today 
:)  A more reliable location might be http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc<number>.txt, as 
described on the page http://www.ietf.org/rfc.html.

The Question:
What's going on here?  Is there special case code in IM that makes blue underlined 
text of the form "RFC <number>" act like a URL?  I don't see anything that looks like 
a hyperlink tag in the probe description.  The documentation says that if the only 
text between tags is a URL, then it will act like a URL.  However, "RFC 2068" is 
hardly a URL.

Extremely Optional Feature Request:
Add support for <a href> tags in probe descriptions.

Thanks,

Doug
