A new Curl logo
For something that claims to "grok" URLs, using "://" as part of the logo seems to be misunderstanding how URLs (are supposed to) work.<p>According to RFC3986, URIs (the proper name; URLs are a kind of URI) are correctly of the form:<p><pre><code>    <scheme>:<scheme-specific-part>
</code></pre>
For <i>some</i> schemes, the <scheme-specific-part> may contain a <hierarchical-part>, the format for which is:<p><pre><code>    //<authority>[/<path>] | <path>
</code></pre>
So it's only hierarchical URIs with a defined authority that have the (admittedly iconic) "://" in them.<p>I know most people identity URIs as having that sequence in them, but these are all valid URIs:<p><pre><code>    mailto:bob@example.com
    sip:bob@example.com
    tel:+18005550123
    file:/path/to/file
</code></pre>
I'm not saying I expect everyone to understand these subtleties, but people who claim to grok URLs ought to.
