Designing and Crafting Core Pages Part II
Scheme Syntax Protocol Usage
news:// Network News Transfer Connects to the specified Usenet newsgroup. Newsgroups
Protocol (NNTP) are public, theme-oriented message boards on which
anyone can post or reply to a message.
telnet:// TELNET Enables users to log on directly to remote host computers
and interact directly with the operating system software.
Part of the richness of today??™s Web browsers stems from their capability to connect to all the preceding (and
additional) services.
The mailto: scheme enables you not only to open up a preaddressed email form, but also,
with a little extra work, to specify the topic. For example, if Joe Lowery wants to include a link
to his email address with the subject heading ???Book Feedback,??? he can insert a link such as the following:
mailto:jlowery@idest.com?subject=Book%20Feedback
The question mark acts as a delimiter that enables a variable and a value to be passed to the browser; the
%20 is the decimal representation for a space that must be read by various servers. When you??™re trying to
encourage feedback from your Web page visitors, every little bit helps.
