Title: Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax
Author(s): T. Berners-Lee, R. Fielding, L. Masinter.
Status: DRAFT STANDARD
Date: Aug 1998
Length: 83639
Updates: RFC1808, RFC1738
Updated by: RFC2732
A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a compact string of characters for identifying an abstract or physical resource. This document defines the generic syntax of URI, including both absolute and relative forms, and guidelines for their use; it revises and replaces the generic definitions in RFC1738 and RFC1808.
This document defines a grammar that is a superset of all valid URI, such that an implementation can parse the common components of a URI reference without knowing the scheme-specific requirements of every possible identifier type. This document does not define a generative grammar for URI; that task will be performed by the individual specifications of each URI scheme.
