A debatable bug

Post by cometbus »

Not sure how well this one willl go over, but there are some tld's that make file names linkable that cause me a little aggravation sometimes.

.ws is one of them, that being a file extension I develop with on a server.

someone: did you check cart.ws
me: let me look at it.

Adium http links that cart.ws, when all my friend was telling me was to look at a file cart.ws

domain.com is not technically a valid url, I dont know how many people paste in links, but I would assume they are copied from a browser, so they will have http:// leading them. If anything, I could argue that at least the www. needs to be there, or at least the tld needs to match the list of tld's adium, wants to link, and there must be at least 2 dots in the string.

I will often times tell somebody to go check apple.com or something, and I like the fact that it gets linked. As for the .ws, I haven't heard of a website that ends in .ws, so I would agree with you on that part.
