29.0.50; Obsolete url schemes "info" and "man" |
|

Severity: wishlist
I don't think non-standard URLs like these are used much, and they're
probably not very useful. They're more likely to cause confusion.
(url-retrieve-synchronously "info:url#Retrieving URLs")
(url-retrieve-synchronously "man:cat")
I suggest support for such URLs is obsoleted, and that they are removed
from (info "(url) Supported URL Types").

Fair enough. So I guess we want to leave this alone, and I'm closing
this bug.
