No. I'm talking about the general principal - any legal URL should work without modification. If `wget' can transfer it, Emacs should be able to edit it in a buffer (It may be read only). e.g. https://www.name.tld/foo/bar.html > It's not quite clear what you want: > > (a) ftp://user@host/%2Ffoo must have the standard meaning, or > (b) ftp://user@host//foo must have the standard meaning (ie, same as > ftp://user@host/foo), or > (c) both. > > I agree on (a). But for (b) I'd say the added convenience outweighs > the slight incompatibility with the standard. (a) must be supported (any legal URL should work). (b) MAY be supported - improvements are welcomed. > (And Tramp is incompatible with the standard anyway, since it mostly > supports URL schemes like ssh, scp, su, smb, and rsync, which are not > standardized.) If there is no standard - there is no incompatibility. If there will be standard for any of these methods - it should be supported (note that the ftp standard is NOT supported).
