However: |

"An HTTP URL takes the form: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
http://<host>:<port>/<path>?<searchpart> |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
"where <host> and <port> are as described in Section 3.1. If :<port> |
| 20 |
is omitted, the port defaults to 80. No user name or password is |
| 21 |
allowed. <path> is an HTTP selector, and <searchpart> is a query |
| 22 |
string. The <path> is optional, as is the <searchpart> and its |
| 23 |
preceding "?". If neither <path> nor <searchpart> is present, the "/" |
| 24 |
may also be omitted." [1] |
