Re^4: Perl 6 links (//)

I would like to see the requirement for // after the colon go away, though...

A node title of "cpan: the final frontier" doesn't sound that unlikely. We certainly already have nodes with titles matching /^\w+:/ but I'd like to disallow (and may have already) node titles matching m#^\w+://#. So I like the required //. It makes the alternate syntax more distinct. For example, typing [asdf://asdf] produces [asdf://asdf] because it is considered an invalid pseudo-scheme not a link to a node by title. A mere colon shouldn't be enough for such a distinction.

Would you go for disallowing node titles matching `m#^\w+:[^ ]#` ?	[reply] [d/l]

That's only part of the issue, but no. If you'd done a super search before asking, you would have proposed `[^ :]` instead, but would have still found tons of nodes. - tye	[reply] [d/l]

Ah, yes; `[^ :]` indeed. I found (based on current handlelinks setting): https://script not found on port 443 http://www.url.com/cgi-bin/file.pl?node=how http://www.cpan.org http://use.perl.org/perldelta.html HTTP:Daemon : Address already in use http://lispmonks.org http://perlmonks.org: Title, or Trash? http:// and ftp:// parser The HTTP:Daemon one can be fixed. The others already have // :(.	[reply] [d/l]
