Thanks Jeff, that's a useful summary... and the mixture of methods and syntaxes just shows why its so complicated for new users ... add in what works pasted into search in the map tool and its even more choices... knowing what works and what does not really is over complicated.

Typing in the map is less automatic, so i generally disregard it.

When hypergriding with friends, you need to communicate link. You use in-world chat and everybody just ^H to open history and click. No copy-paste.

If someone crashed, you use external IM : join me at secondlife://... Again, single-click in the IM window and your are there.

It relies on inter-process communication : an application decodes the URI, recognize the "secondfile://" scheme and pass it to the app registered as your sl client. This is the way HG web directories works.

This is the "old way". Now, we have !!!! hyperlinks.

Have a look at http://www.hyperica.com/

HG URL          secondlife://3d.newworldgrid.com:8002/128/128/128/
HG V3 URL       secondlife://http|!!3d.newworldgrid.com|8002+

Both work if i paste them in my travel book (plain text file).

It works also in Imprudence's chat, provided you add the trailing slash.
(i think this is a flaw in Impru's URI parser, we shoud refer to rfc2396 to know).



I think this needs the : style and does not allow spaces before the region name.

I admit i've never seen a hyperlink with space *before* the region name. This would break the parsing, which must decide where the URI stops. That's why we use escape codes like %20. This is an alternative to bracketing.

<secondlife:///app/teleport/hg.osgrid.org:80:Lbsa Plaza>
secondlife:///app/teleport/hg.osgrid.org:80:Lbsa%20Plaza

are the same for an URI parser. Both will result in the same string with embedded spaces being passed to Imprudence/Firestorm.
