As I wrote upthread, RFC 3986 is the latest version of the standard for URIs. But it's a multileveled matter, because in the simplest instance, a URI is scheme:something (compare mailto:), so in theory almost any URI can comply. But now that I read it once again, since our "something" starts with "//", we are bound to the more specific syntax defined there, and that makes our current implementation just plain invalid on the matter that I complained about in my earlier message. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
