Re: URL safe characters?

[sigh] being `thick` means that you are stubborn or otherwise stated
that you have an impenetrable barrier shielding your brain from things
you really should learn.

As for showing respect, that is pretty laughable coming from you after
the way you presented yourself and I find no reason that I should accept
your abuse. And yes I do realize that you don't want to hear that you
are not understanding the basics, but I will still explain it to you
once more:

A URI (say: you-are-eye, or as an acronym: Yuri) is a standard for
describing how a resource can be accessed by an application. The URI
standard defines a format consisting of the protocol to use, a path
towards the resource, a method for specifying optional parameters to the
resource, and an encoding method for characters that cause issues either
with the URI standard itself or the protocol used. What URI does *NOT*
define is which characters need to be encoded as this is protocol
specific.

This is where you allowed yourself to become misguided, because i your
application you reference a library that specifically targets the HTTP
protocol and creates a special version of a URI that is known as a URL
which in effect does not reference a resource you can open directly but
a link to where you can download the resource (hence the 'L' instead of
an 'I') and then open what is now a local copy. The list you create
however does not consist of HTTP links but are references to the local
file system as indicated by the file:// protocol prefix in the URI. In
other words: you are using the wrong library, period.

Now can you say thank you? Try it for once, it will get you further than
that foul mouth of yours.
