Finger URIs with userinfo component instead of path

Open SavaAlexandruStefan opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

While testing some links I also tried the finger protocol

When a link is poiting finger://domain.tld/user it works well .. it goes to show finger info [email protected]

If link is finger://[email protected] lagrange goes to @domain.ltd (no user)

Hope you understand what I said 😀

Thanks for LaGrange🥃

While there is no official URI specification for Finger, I believe the de facto correct format is finger://domain.tld/request. In other words, the userinfo component of the URI is not meant to be used, although I suppose the lack of spec means that one could just go ahead and support that as well.

I don't plan to make changes here any time soon, though. If anyone wants to submit a pull request, I'll merge it.
