Package: lynx-ssl
Version: 2.8.2.3-1
Severity: normal
When browsing some C++ documentation the string "::" is bound to occur
in URLs but Lynx doesn't like that.
For example, trying to follow that URL:
<a href="Gtk_Menu_Helpers::Element.html">Gtk_Menu_Helpers::Element</a>
gives a "Alert: Unsupported URL scheme" message.
In Netscape or IE it works fine.

This was also reported to lynx-dev, see this month's list archive.
It's not a bug in lynx, but in the documents that contain such links.
Quoting from RFC 2396:
5. Relative URI References
....
Authors should be aware that a path segment which contains a colon
character cannot be used as the first segment of a relative URI path
(e.g., "this:that"), because it would be mistaken for a scheme name.
It is therefore necessary to precede such segments with other
segments (e.g., "./this:that") in order for them to be referenced as
a relative path.

Severity set to `fixed'.
