What protocols are recognized and why?
Cause
DOORS 9 client uses the Windows operating system component "RichEditControl", which provides the rendering, display and editing capabilities for rich content in DOORS client. Rich Edit Control implements an automatic URL recognition and hyperlink formatting feature. This recognition is limited to a list of protocols. This list cannot be extended.
Answer
The list of protocols supported is documented by Microsoft for Windows:
When auto URL detection is on, Microsoft Rich Edit is constantly checking typed text for a valid URL. Rich Edit recognizes URLs that start with these prefixes:
http:
file:
mailto:
ftp:
https:
gopher:
nntp:
prospero:
telnet:
news:
wais:
outlook:
Rich Edit also recognizes standard path names that start with \\. When Rich Edit locates a URL, it changes the URL text color, underlines the text, and notifies the client
