NETWORK_DATASTORE URL Syntax

The syntax of a URL you store in a datastore is as follows (with brackets indicating optional parameters):

[URL:]<access_scheme>://<host_name>[:<port_number>]/[<url_path>]

The access_scheme string can be either http or https. For example:

https://mycomputer.us.example.com/home.html

Because this syntax is partially compliant with the RFC 1738 specification, the following restriction holds for the URL syntax: The URL must contain only printable ASCII characters. Non-printable ASCII characters and multibyte characters must be escaped with the %xxnotation, where xx is the hexadecimal representation of the special character.
