一、格式說明

“|” 表示隔開的兩部分只能出現其中一個，方括號[]括起來的表示可選，文字由雙引號””括起來，以n*開頭表示至少n個或更多的，n的缺省值為0。

二、總體格式

genericurl     = scheme “:” schemepart
scheme         = 1*[ lowalpha | digit | “+” | “-” | “.” ]
schemepart     = *xchar | ip-schemepart
ip-schemepart  = “//” login [ “/” urlpath ]
login          = [ user [ “:” password ] “@” ] hostport
hostport       = host [ “:” port ]
host           = hostname | hostnumber
hostname       = *[ domainlabel “.” ] toplabel
domainlabel    = alphadigit | alphadigit *[ alphadigit | “-” ] alphadigit
toplabel       = alpha | alpha *[ alphadigit | “-” ] alphadigit
alphadigit     = alpha | digit
hostnumber     = digits “.” digits “.” digits “.” digits
port           = digits
user           = *[ uchar | “;” | “?” | “&” | “=” ]
password       = *[ uchar | “;” | “?” | “&” | “=” ]
urlpath        = *xchar    ; depends on protocol see section 3.1

三、常見scheme

; FTP (參見RFC959)
ftpurl         = “ftp://” login [ “/” fpath [ “;type=” ftptype ]]
fpath          = fsegment *[ “/” fsegment ]
fsegment       = *[ uchar | “?” | “:” | “@” | “&” | “=” ]
ftptype        = “A” | “I” | “D” | “a” | “i” | “d”
; FILE
fileurl        = “file://” [ host | “localhost” ] “/” fpath
; HTTP
httpurl        = “http://” hostport [ “/” hpath [ “?” search ]]
hpath          = hsegment *[ “/” hsegment ]
hsegment       = *[ uchar | “;” | “:” | “@” | “&” | “=” ]
search         = *[ uchar | “;” | “:” | “@” | “&” | “=” ]
; GOPHER (參見RFC1436)
gopherurl      = “gopher://” hostport [ / [ gtype [ selector
[ “%09″ search [ “%09″ gopher+_string ] ] ] ] ]
gtype          = xchar
selector       = *xchar
gopher+_string = *xchar
; MAILTO (參見 RFC822)
mailtourl      = “mailto:” encoded822addr
encoded822addr = 1*xchar               ; further defined in RFC822
; NEWS (參見 RFC1036)
newsurl        = “news:” grouppart
grouppart      = “*” | group | article
group          = alpha *[ alpha | digit | “-” | “.” | “+” | “_” ]
article        = 1*[ uchar | “;” | “/” | “?” | “:” | “&” | “=” ] “@” host
; NNTP (參見RFC977)
nntpurl        = “nntp://” hostport “/” group [ “/” digits ]
; TELNET
telneturl      = “telnet://” login [ “/” ]
; WAIS (參見 RFC1625)
waisurl        = waisdatabase | waisindex | waisdoc
waisdatabase   = “wais://” hostport “/” database
waisindex      = “wais://” hostport “/” database “?” search
waisdoc        = “wais://” hostport “/” database “/” wtype “/” wpath
database       = *uchar
wtype          = *uchar
wpath          = *uchar
; PROSPERO
prosperourl    = “prospero://” hostport “/” ppath *[ fieldspec ]
ppath          = psegment *[ “/” psegment ]
psegment       = *[ uchar | “?” | “:” | “@” | “&” | “=” ]
fieldspec      = “;” fieldname “=” fieldvalue
fieldname      = *[ uchar | “?” | “:” | “@” | “&” ]
fieldvalue     = *[ uchar | “?” | “:” | “@” | “&” ]

四、雜類

lowalpha       = “a” | “b” | “c” | “d” | “e” | “f” | “g” | “h” |

“S” | “T” | “U” | “V” | “W” | “X” | “Y” | “Z”
alpha          = lowalpha | hialpha
digit          = “0″ | “1″ | “2″ | “3″ | “4″ | “5″ | “6″ | “7″ |
