Does it? The only reference in 2396 I could find was this: The URL host was defined as a fully-qualified domain name. However, many URLs are used without fully-qualified domain names (in contexts for which the full qualification is not necessary), without any host (as in some file URLs), or with a host of "localhost". which I take to be saying that "host" in "//host" can be empty, rather than that the // can be omitted too. There ought to be a separate (short!) RFC for file URLs. -- Richard -- Spam filter: to mail me from a .com/.net site, put my surname in the headers.
