The general scheme for Uniform Resource Identifiers is contained in
<http://info.internet.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc/files/rfc2396.txt>RFC<http://info.internet.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc/files/rfc2396.txt>
2396 (and others). But what you are seeing above is a non-standard (I
think) extension that reflects most common usage, i.e. "http:" is assumed
as the scheme qualifier.
