Since the way of specifying HG links changed to the form http://gridname:port

seems that some places where this string worked have been lost.. such as in

jump about.
The syntax depends on the interface you talk with.
I keep an external travel book with links in the form:
secondlife://virtual.aiai.ed.ac.uk:8002:Vue-5000/
This is parsed as an URI by text editors, web browsers, mailers,
IRC/IM clients and make it easy to share hyperlinks outside the world.
It can be also typed in the chat bar. In this case, the trailing / is
mandatory (i'm referring to Imprudence).
secondlife://virtual.aiai.ed.ac.uk:8002:Vue-5000/ will be clickable on chat bar
secondlife://virtual.aiai.ed.ac.uk:8002:Vue-5000 will not
You've got problems with spaces in region names:
secondlife://hg.osgrid.org:80:Lbsa Plaza/
Although this is clickable when typed in Imprudence's chat bar, it is
not in a text file. This is not clickable in the mailer i'm using
now. A common way to force the parsing is to enclose the URI in angle
brackets:
<secondlife://hg.osgrid.org:80:Lbsa Plaza/>
The full link get passed to Imprudence, without the brackets.
This is my favorite way to store and use hyperlinks. I never type in
the map (clicking once is faster than copy/paste). I can go to
Vue-5000 from this mail in one click.
If you look at an hypergrid directory, say
http://www.hyperica.com/?s=Openvue you'll see the link is:
secondlife://http://virtual.aiai.ed.ac.uk:8002//128/128/128/
This doesn't work with Imprudence (you got the question mark).
secondlife://virtual.aiai.ed.ac.uk:8002:Vue-5000/ does.
I know Firestorm has a different syntax with !! and i still wonder why.
