Re: GPL'd euphoria/URIs
Chris, Irv,
Go to http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt. Search for Appendix B: "Parsing a
URI Reference with a Regular Expression." Basically, you'll see that the
'www' is just part of the host name, and unnecessary for resolution. So,
http://whatever.com is a prefectly good URL, and http://www.whatever.com may
not exist.
The same goes for the .com suffix (or any other). As far as IETF is
concerned, you can call your site http://whatever. It should work, as long
as the intervening name servers will resolve it. For example, the University
of Buenos Aires website is http://www.uba.ar, and you won't reach it through
http://www.uba.edu.ar. Since name resolution is done mainly 'by the
numbers,' so to speak (IETF and W3C actively discourage IP naming), then
anything acceptable to RFC1123 (HTTP1.0, 1996), RFC2396 (1998) and RFC2616
(HTTP 1.1, 1999, http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html, which
changed nothing about URIs, URLs and URNs), should work fine.
