The URL's to the RFC's are hard-wired into the application. There is a table (STR# 800) that maps "underlined strings" to URL's. The string "RFC 2068" is mapped to an older URL - I will update that table.
In InterMapper 4.0, it is possible to specify a URL inline in the probe description; it's not an <a href>, but close. You will use the '=' character after marking the text as underlined (u) and blue (2).
For example, <u2=http://www.dartware.com>click here to go to intermapper web site<p0>
Note that < and > in the above example need to be the "real" mark-up chars.

I'm working on a custom probe for RFC 1759-compliant printers, and I wanted to include a link to the RFC in the probe description, like in the description of the HTTP probe.
The Bug:
When you click on the blue underlined text in the HTTP probe description, IM launches your browser and sends you to a URL of http://info.internet.isi.edu:80/in-notes/rfc/files/rfc<number>.txt. This results in a "Not Found" message. It looks like someone has moved the RFC files. FYI, the URL http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc<number>.txt works correctly - at least it worked today :) A more reliable location might be http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc<number>.txt, as described on the page http://www.ietf.org/rfc.html.
The Question:
What's going on here? Is there special case code in IM that makes blue underlined text of the form "RFC <number>" act like a URL? I don't see anything that looks like a hyperlink tag in the probe description. The documentation says that if the only text between tags is a URL, then it will act like a URL. However, "RFC 2068" is hardly a URL.
Extremely Optional Feature Request: Add support for <a href> tags in probe descriptions.
