Obsoleted by: 3986 #80

Open Relequestual opened 3 years ago

Relequestual commented 3 years ago

RFC 1808 is Obsoleted by RFC 3986.

You note in the readme that this project does not use the living standard. Is it worth also noting that RFC 1808 is now obsolete, and the differences in what this library supports?

tjenkinson commented 3 years ago

Fine with me. I already highlighted some of the differences but if there are more important ones feel free to add them :)

Relequestual commented 3 years ago

I don't know what the differences are! I was hoping as an implementer, you might 😅

tjenkinson commented 3 years ago

Ah I see. I think the main difference is the one I mentioned on the readme.

I doubt much else has changed, but I haven't spent loads of time checking the differences, and also I think the living standard one can change over time so it could always be out of date.

That's... a really good point. Compliant today, out of date tomorrow 😞.

Living standards are great for moving fast, but not for stability.
