Huh? I see: URI = scheme ":" hier-part [ "?" query ] [ "#" fragment ] scheme = ALPHA *( ALPHA / DIGIT / "+" / "-" / "." ) hier-part = "//" authority path-abempty path-abempty = *( "/" segment ) authority = [ userinfo "@" ] host [ ":" port ] host = IP-literal / IPv4address / reg-name reg-name = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims ) unreserved = ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~" 3.2.2 additionally notes that reg-name can use a custom namespace: A host identified by a registered name is a sequence of characters usually intended for lookup within a locally defined host or service name registry, though the URI's scheme-specific semantics may require that a specific registry (or fixed name table) be used instead. So, apart from using an unregistered scheme, it is a real URI. Lauri
