Perhaps you should do some research, and read the following: " The angle-bracket "" and "" and double-quote (") characters are excluded because they are often used as the delimiters around URI in text documents and protocol fields. The character "#" is excluded because it is used to delimit a URI from a fragment identifier in URI references (Section 4). The percent character "%" is excluded because it is used for the encoding of escaped characters. delims = "" | "" | "#" | "%" | "" Which is found he http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt ....and why would the above clickable URL contained, and delimited by angle-brackets be less secure than the undelimited version below? http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt -- Regards, Savageduck |

In HTML code you might have something like A HREF="www.dropbox.com"dropbox/A But that's in the code itself. Newsreaders and email programs recognize a URL by the syntax and act accordingly. Your addition of is irrelevant. It's not proper, readable HTML and it would make no difference if it were, just as my HTML snippet above will show as plain text in this post because this post is not HTML. You could just as easily have used *www.dropbox.com* or (www.dropbox.com). The extra marks serve no purpose. (Though some marks may prevent your newsreadr from recognizing the line as a link.) | ...and why would the above clickable URL contained, and delimited by | angle-brackets be less secure than the undelimited version below? | http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt It's not. I didn't mean to complicate things. I was just noting that your brackets are superfluous and that it's easier to copy the URL without them. Not to worry. If you find it convenient it's no big deal. The security part is not directly related. I use a number of browsers and clicking a link in email or a newsgroup post will activate the default browser. I happen to have IE set as the default, which I don't allow to go online. I block it at the firewall. Why? Because IE is profoundly unsafe and quirky in rendering webpages. But it's good for using on Windows. I like to use it for reading HTML files locally. It's quick and lightweight. I also don't want to risk accidentally clicking a link in something without meaning to. I also don't want software going online without asking. By setting IE as the default I have a good reader for local HTML files while I also block anything going online that I didn't specifically intend to do so. Thus, when someone sends or posts a link, I copy it and paste into Firefox or Pale Moon. I don't know if you have default programs on Mac. I guess you probably don't even see the full file names. On Windows, the default program is automatically called for a specific file extension. So for instance, if I install software that then tries to call home without asking, that will call up my default browser, which is IE, which will then show an error window saying that it's unable to reach the website. Likewise, if I accidentally click a link in an email without meaning to, that will call IE which will be unable to reach the link. Thus, my arrangement is handy for both privacy and security. |
