RFC 6196, "Moving mailserver: URI Scheme to Historic", March 2011

Source of RFC: IETF - NON WORKING GROUP
Area Assignment: app

Errata ID: 2756
Status: Held for Document Update
Type: Technical
Publication Format(s) : TEXT

Reported By: Mykyta Yevstifeyev

Throughout the document, when it says:

mailserver: URI Scheme

It should say:

'mailserver' URI Scheme

Notes:

The ":" (colon) character is not a part of URI scheme name. RFC 3986 says:

URI = scheme ":" hier-part [ "?" query ] [ "#" fragment ]
scheme = ALPHA *( ALPHA / DIGIT / "+" / "-" / "." )

i. e. ":" is a delimiter between scheme name and the remainder of URI.

Section 1 says:

   There were some previous attempts to provide detailed documentation
   of the mailserver: URI scheme, but those efforts were not successful.
   Implementors interested in providing instructions for generating an
   email [RFC5322] message can instead use the mailto: URI scheme
   [RFC6068].  Implementors interested in referencing a message or a set
   of messages available from a mailstore over IMAP [RFC3501], POP
   [RFC1939], or web [RFC2616] can instead use the imap: [RFC5092], pop:
   [RFC2384] or http: [RFC2616] URIs, respectively.
