Subject: Suggestion for a new URL type
To: www-talk@nxoc01.cern.ch
Message-Id: <Pine.3.03.9306261428.L5397-a100000@amber.ora.com>
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
I'd like to suggest the following form for a new type of URL. This would
answer the need of a 'finger' URL type, as well as others, in a simple,
generic interface.
A Generic TCP URL Type -
ex. tcp://host.domain:port/data_for_tcp_port
where:
- port would be numeric as well as symbolic,
79 or finger
- data_for_tcp_port would allow escaped chars,
line#1\nline#2\nline#3
Possible uses:
Finger - "tcp://ruby.ora.com:79" or
"tcp://ruby.ora.com:finger/username"
Webster - "tcp://ora.com:webster/DEFINE server\nQUIT"
Whois - "tcp://rs.internic.net:43/ORA.COM"
Time - "tcp://localhost:daytime"
NNTP - "tcp://ruby.ora.com:nntp/LIST"
Any comments?
