The Internationalized Resource Identifier (IRI) is an internet protocol standard which builds on the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) protocol by greatly expanding the set of permitted characters. [1] [2] [3] It was defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in 2005 in RFC 3987.
A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), formerly Universal Resource Identifier, is a unique sequence of characters that identifies an abstract or physical resource, [1] such as resources on a webpage, mail address, phone number, [2] books, real-world objects such as people and places, concepts. [3]
URI schemes registered with the IANA, both provisional and fully approved, are listed in its registry for Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) Schemes. These include well known ones like: file - File URI scheme; ftp – File Transfer Protocol; http – Hypertext Transfer Protocol; https – Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure
A PURL of type "303" is used to direct a Web client to a resource that provides additional information regarding the resource they requested, without returning the resource itself. This subtlety is useful when the HTTP URI requested is used as an identifier for a physical or conceptual object that cannot be represented as an information resource.
A path is always defined for a URI, though the defined path may be empty (zero length). A segment may also be empty, resulting in two consecutive slashes ( // ) in the path component. A path component may resemble or map exactly to a file system path but does not always imply a relation to one.
Well-known URIs are Uniform Resource Identifiers defined by the IETF in RFC 8615. [1] They are URL path prefixes that start with /.well-known/.This implementation is in response to the common expectation for web-based protocols to require certain services or information be available at URLs consistent across servers, regardless of the way URL paths are organized on a particular host.
In Internet Explorer for Mac 5 was an offline Easter egg, accessible by typing ‘about:tasman’, showing the Acid1 test with the text replaced by the names of the developers. [23] Safari only recognizes about:blank. Microsoft Outlook supports an additional outlook:today URI, which shows the Outlook Today Screen. This screen shows messages ...
The minimal data URI is data:,, consisting of the scheme, no media-type, and zero-length data. Thus, within the overall URI syntax, a data URI consists of a scheme and a path, with no authority part, query string, or fragment. The optional media type, the optional base64 indicator, and the data are all parts of the URI path.
