However, ALL such wrappers separate the scheme (what the manual refers to as the "protocol" from the rest of the URL with "://" - an example being the "var://myvar" in the example of the stream_wrapper_register() page. This conflicts with RFC3986, the official specification for URIs (of which URLs are a subclass). The separator is just ":"; the double slash should only appear if what follows is a hierarchical structure in the sense given in section 3 of that document. This is explicitly stated as improper in RFC2718, section 2.1.2 (which refers to the previous URI standard, RFC2396). If these streams are supposed to be URLs, then the above example from the manual should read "var:myvar". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32535&edit=1
