Should it be possible to indicate a port with did:web? #34

Closed kdenhartog closed 3 years ago

kdenhartog commented 3 years ago

Typically in a web domain a port is a part of the host authority and indicated via a : followed by a number. However due to the way we're currently parsing a resource path we're using the : which maps to a / and changes the resource path. This leaves no way for a port to be specified with the did:web URI. Is this an expected feature or something that's just been overlooked.

@OR13 @dmitrizagidulin @dlongley @rhiaro I'd think you all may have an opinion on this.

I think this was already handled in #7. The conclusion was that you should use encodeUriComponent(host:port) as well as for each path component.
