Re: [wildfly-dev] HTTP Upgrade for AS8 Management

When we have multi-layer protocol going on, the URI scheme we should use is like this: outer+middle+inner:// where "outer" is the outermost protocol (e.g. "remote"), and "inner" is the innermost (not counting layer 3 and lower *unless* that figures directly in to the URI scheme; an example of this sub-case is "stratum+tcp" vs "stratum+udp"). So we *should* have: remote:// Direct Remoting-protocol connection remote+http:// Remoting over HTTP upgrade remote+https:// Remoting over HTTPS upgrade And (if these are even really needed; I think we dropped this distinction though maybe I'm wrong): jmx+remote:// JMX over Remoting jmx+remote+http:// JMX over Remoting over HTTP jmx+remote+https:// JMX over Remoting over HTTPS The most common "de facto" function of hyphenation in a URI scheme is to be a separator for a two-word protocol, like "view-source" or "ms-help" etc. The most common "de facto" function of using "+" is as I've described above, perhaps made most popular by Subversion's use. You may be wondering: Why not apply this to every single protocol we have? And/or every single protocol in existence? I think this goes beyond practicality - the point is to be unambiguous and consistent, and also align on the correct "remote" scheme name (we have a mix of "remote" and "remoting" today which is kind of confusing). Fixing this is not really a top priority obviously, but I would like to eventually unify our configuration on these scheme names (still supporting the old scheme names for compatibility of course). -- - DML
