Hi all, /me has had no coffee yet.. but i'll try anyway.. (maybe some Uni lesson is just as good) Am Mon, 2003-06-02 um 11.35 schrieb Damien Sandras: > Le lun 02/06/2003 à 11:25, Miguel Rodríguez a écrit : > > That is the same as sayting that browsers have a "browsers url" because > > they accept locations without the protocol part. > > Not at all.

Of course I can slightly break > the RFC and tell to people that in GM the "@" is optionnal in H323 URLs, > but I don't like it even though it is a 1 line code change in GMURL. hmmm, i got a better idea.. who's the maintainer of that RFC? how about we not whine about a crappy RFC, but we include the RFC descussion where it's supposed to be.. maybe they even thought about obsoleting the "@" in front, but they didn't write that down yet ;) > > > - the location bar always begins with "h323:" by default, so users are > > > unlikely to delete the h323: part. > > This has an obvious easy fix ;) > > > If we do so, people will ignore GM supports callto and h323... writing h323 does also obsolete the callto:// a bit.. at least it's not being automatically shown inside gm anymore.. ..well.. i'll get me some coffe now.. ;) -- Best regards, Kilian
