[Xmldb-org-xapi] URI-Schema

[Jens <Je...@Ko...>]

Hy,

I've got a rather simple question:
Why isn't a URI-Schema used, which is valid according to the RFC 2396?
For example in the API Use Cases document
(http://xmldb-org.sourceforge.net/xapi/UseCases.html#Nff2413 ) this URI
is used :
"xmldb:vendorx://db.xmlmovies.com:2030/movies"

But according to the above RFC something like "xmldb:vendor://" is not
allowed (take a look at the BNF).

Wouldn't it be better if the API used a RFC-conform format?

If it is syntactically wrong we should fix this IMHO.

What would you suggest instead, just dropping xmldb from from the URI to ge=
t=20
vendorx://db.xmlmovies.com:2030/movies?

Well, it is not syntactically wrong.

I wouldn't drop the xmldb: it is the scheme of the URI (just like http:
or ftp:).
I'd rather use something like:
xmldb://vendorx/movies
for local machine or
xmldb://ve...@db...:2030/movies
for a remote machine and
xmldb://vendorx;user:pa...@db...:2030/movies  or
xmldb://vendorx;us...@db...:2030/movies
for a remote machine with authentication

What do you think about that?

Adios,
