[Opensim-users] Fucntion to read a landmark

[Gudule Lapointe]

We are working on a osGetInventoryLandmarkURL function, and it's working great.

Now, it's time to choose the format of the URL ;-)

I found two slightly different schemes, which seem to be handled the same way
So my question is "what is their scope?"…
(this is to choose a relevant constant name)

	speculoos.net:8002:Agora
	-> handled in 
		- map search
		- in osTeleport (without http)

	http://speculoos.net:8002/ Agora
	-> handled in
		- map search
		- in osTeleport

The third scheme is more obvious:

	secondlife://speculoos.net:8002:Agora/
	-> handled in 
		- local chat and web only
