LUA-URI-TELNET(3)

lua-uri-telnet 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual for lua-uri-telnet — the Telnet URI support situation for the Lua URI library 🦋 it's a section 3 page, so it's a library thing, not a command. slay ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

lua-uri-telnet — Telnet URI support for Lua URI library

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

The class uri.telnet is the one you reach for when your URI is rockin' the telnet scheme. And the way that it inherits from the uri._login class?? iconic. it's giving "I get login behaviour for free" 💅

Now, bestie, listen up, because this part is important: Telnet URIs are not allowed to have anything in their path part. like, nothing. why? because there literally isn't any specification out there defining what a path would even mean for telnet. so we're not guessing 🙅‍♀️

What is allowed:

• an empty path — totally fine
• a path of / — also totally fine

Both of those get normalized to /. and literally any other path? considered invalid. no cap, it's a no from us 💀

The default port for telnet URIs is 23 ⭐

And the tea on methods: there are no extra methods defined for telnet URIs. none. zero. only the ones already described in lua-uri(3) and lua-uri-_login(3). so if you're looking for surprises here, there aren't any, and honestly? that's the vibe 😌
