Data in a hurry

ventaDull 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 :)

Date: 2004-08-13 11:24 pm (UTC)The potential for badness is great, since it means you no longer have the option not to load the non-text data for the page.
For example: Suppose I am loading someone's homepage using a dialup link and I just want the email address at the bottom and not the 2MB .bmp of their cat which sits at the top of the page. Normally this is easy, but with 'data:' it becomes impossible.
