I guess you didn't check the status of the RFC you quoted. From [1] you would have learnt that RFC 1738 is obsoleted by RFC 3986[2], which states: ,--- | | Using <> angle brackets around each URI is especially recommended as | a delimiting style for a reference that contains embedded whitespace. | | The prefix "URL:" (with or without a trailing space) was formerly | recommended as a way to help distinguish a URI from other bracketed | designators, though it is not commonly used in practice and is no | longer recommended. | `--- 1. http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/rfc1700.htm 2. http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3886 (Appendix C.
