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 :)

Yes: Firefox 0.9.

Yes

Mozilla 1.6
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

Nope: IE5.5

Yes

[lambertbehnke.livejournal.com]

Netscape 7.1
mostly due to being Mozilla 5.0

[triskellian]

Yes; Mozilla 1.7 under Windows XP.

[diffrentcolours]

Yep, Mozilla Firefox 0.9.1 on Debian GNU/Linux.

I wouldn't be too surprised if it was Mozilla that generated the flurry of duplicate comments...

And slightly relevantly:

Is it possible to get google to search for things which include non-alphanumerics ?

Searching for "data://" seems to be equivalent to searching for "data", which is not very helpful. Escaping the dots and slashes with a \ doesn't work.

lynx just sees the alt tag, I'm afraid. :)
No idea whether this means it understands it or not. :)

Opera 7.54: Yup.

[mr-tom.livejournal.com]

Safari can see it. :-)

[davefish.livejournal.com]

Netscape 7 (on Win NT) can see a face.
If the user gets sstonkingly drunk then multiple faces are visible. I don't think that this is a Netscape feature though.

Mozilla firefox 9.1 is all good, yo.

-= Me

Alas... No.

[chron-job.livejournal.com]

Alaso, Ob1 (Off by One, V 3.4a ) web browser does NOT!!!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_corpse_/]

Konqueror 3.1-12 is a no.

[voratus.livejournal.com]

Firefox 0.9.3 can.
I'm curious as to why one would actually use this, as it seems it can only do the same thing that other code can currently do.

I'm sure you have these answers by now, but I've been away for a fortnight and wanted to make it clear I am still about!

XP: IE6: No; Opera: yes
Debian Linux: Mozilla 1.0: yes
