URL noob - Is this a specific kind of url? ie RFC 1738?

Question

If i have a url structured like this:

<scheme> : <path> ? <key> = <parameter> & <otherkey> = <otherparamet>

is that a specific 'type' of URL? Im trying to figure out if this conforms to RFC 1738

Is that the whole URL or are you just showing the punctuation? — n8wrl, Sep 09 '12 at 23:02

There are URL's formatted like this:

http://www.example.com/search.php?name=jeremy&state=oh

In this case, the ? starts the query and the & separates the parameters.

The parameters are URIComponentEncoded and may look a bit funny.

I think you're leaving stuff out.... Using those delimiters you gave and in that order, I can construct an HTTP GET request to a specific port, supplying two named identifiers with data values.

http://some.domain.com:portnumber?key1=value1&key2=value2
