Data in a hurry

[venta]

Dull survey: does your web browser of choice support the data:// scheme, as defined in RFC 2397 ?

Quick check:

If you can see a little picture of a face here, the answer is "yes". If you see some form of red-x/image-not-available thing, that's a "no".



If you could comment, letting me know which browser you're using, that'd be great.

To save an immediate flurry of duplicate comments, IE6 doesn't support it :)

No idea either.

Try clicking here (), and tell me what happens with lynx.

"Alert! Unsupported data: URL!"

Or words to that effect anyway....

And can I add that it is a lot easier than I thought it would be to post in lynx. Though I did lose s few links earlier but they might have just been lurking in silly places... :)

Or alternatively, tell me to stop being so bloody lazy and check for myself :)

lynx 2.8 doesn't support it.

links

[wimble.livejournal.com]

links 2.1pre11 (as opposed to lynx) doesn't recognise "data:" as a protocol and treats it as a relative URL (where lynx does recognise that data: is a protocol, just one it can't handle.

So links attempts to go off to http://www.livejournal.com/users/venta/data:A%20special%20test%20for%Chris (apologies if LJ eats the percent signs in there...)

I'd say that's a bug. :)
