Good spot. Those mailto URIs look wrong...
I would like scala-uri
to support URIs that do not have '//', but currently it does not.
I would prefer scala-uri
not to enforce too many of the restrictions in the RFC as there are a lot of technically invalid URIs out there on the Internet. I'd rather that the parsing was permissive and allowed users to parse these URIs.
The 'mailto' (and 'urn', 'news', etc.) schemes do not have the double forward slash after the colon.
I was looking for a library to better parse URIs and found a reference to this project.
I noticed that:
mention the 'mailto' scheme, and have been integrating the library into my project, but ran into an issue.
A valid mailto 'mailto:user@host' parses with the entire URI as a 'path' (incidentally with a prefixed '/').
I thought about inserting the "//" after the colon to parse as the 'scheme', 'user' and 'host', but another valid mailto is ''mailto:user1@host1,user2@host2' which parses with 'host,user2@host' as the 'host'.
Questions:
If yes: The RFC specifies that URIs without a '//' have everything after the 'scheme:' and before '?query' as the path. (RFC section 3. Syntax Components)
