When it comes to URLs, protocol refers to the bit before the ":". In the platform's API landscape, I think that's the only thing "protocol" has meant thus far. And getting at the bit before the ":" is still useful. It's just wildly different from what you're talking about. -- https://annevankesteren.nl/
