Name: data: scheme Description: defines identifiers which contain an inline SOURCE representation Id: layer1.DataScheme Category: accessor Identifier Syntax data: scheme is an accessor using a standard identifier grammar: <grammar>   <group>     <group>data:       <group min="0">         <group name="mimetype">           <regex type="nmtoken" />/           <regex type="nmtoken" />         </group>         <group min="0">;charset=           <group name="charset">             <regex type="nmtoken" />           </group>         </group>       </group>       <group min="0" name="encoding">;base64</group>,       <group name="data">         <regex type="anything" />       </group>     </group>   </group> </grammar> with the following arguments: (for more details on argument passing details see here) Argument Rules Typing Description mimetype String (unknown) (no description available) charset String (nmtoken) (no description available) encoding String (unknown) (no description available) data String (anything) (no description available) Request Verbs The following verbs are supported: Verbs SOURCE EXISTS Response The following response representations can be returned for SOURCE requests: SOURCE Representations Readable Binary Stream This accessor throws no documented exceptions. Import Requirements To use data: scheme accessor you must import the module urn:org:netkernel:ext:layer1: <import>   <uri>urn:org:netkernel:ext:layer1</uri> </import>

The data: scheme supports the IETF RFC2397 specification for in-line data within a URI.

Syntax

The syntax for the scheme is:

For example, the following embeds a picture of a small red dot:

embeds the following HTML:

SOURCE

When a request with the SOURCE verb is issued for a representation encoded with the data: scheme, the value of the information is returned as a org.netkernel.layer0.representation.IReadableBinaryStreamRepresentation.

Example

In the following example the contents of the variable text will be set to "this is data":

request = context.createRequest("data:text/plain,this%20is%20data");
request.setRepresentationClass(String.class);
text = context.issueRequest(request);

EXISTS

When a request with the EXISTS verb is issued a test is made to see if the data exists.

The response contains a boolean value of either true or false indicating if the file or directory exists or not.

Example

In the following example the data: scheme is queried for the existence of a representation:

request = context.createRequest("data:text/html;base64,PGh0bWw+PGJvZHk+PHA+aGk8L3A+PC9ib2R5PjwvaHRtbD4=");
request.setVerb(INKFRequestReadOnly.VERB_EXISTS);
request.setRepresentationClass(Boolean.class);
dataAvailable = context.issueRequest(request);
