Standard HTTP Characters :: Winsock

[kuphryn]

Hi.

I am working with HTTP 1.1. I would like to know what other characters such as alpha and punctuactions are allowed for a given URL?

For example:

// Valid
http://www.oiahsdifh.com/aoihsdofhad...f/theFile.file

// Is this valid?
www.oiahsdifh.com/aoihsdofhad!jalsdif{joihasdf/theFile|file

The project deals with HTTP and websites links. Thus, I need to know the standard and pattern to which servers and clients communicate.

Thanks,
Kuphryn

Try checking out the HTTP RFC, it's the first on the list when searched for @ google.

I'd say any valid filename is valid, but you really should escape special characters (e.g. ' ' becomes %20)

Okay. Thanks.
