For everyone's reference (including, I hope, future searchers of
TOMCAT-USER mailling list archives), the official reference for URI syntax
is RFC 2396: "Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax". The
particular section that covers this issue is Section 4, where we find the
BNF:
URI-reference = [ absoluteURI | relativeURI ] [ "#" fragment ]
Internet "Request for Comment" (RFC) documents define the standards on
which most Internet protocols operate. They are available from many
locations -- the one I use is <http://www.rfc-editor.org>, which includes
useful search engines as well as lookups by RFC number.
Servlet and JSP developers will also be interested in a couple of other
RFCs that are relevant to web applications:
* RFC 2109 - HTTP State Management Mechanism (i.e. cookies)
* RFC 2616 - Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1
* RFC 2617 - HTTP Authentication: Basic and Digest Access Authentication
