A Uri Is similar to a URL string. URI is known as a Uniform Resource Identifier, and is used to identify assets and their locations rather than a webpage or site. Since website images are assets in Resonite, URLs are commonly misconceived as being URIs.
Technical
Input And Fields
When typing into any field of this type, make sure that it is formatted correctly or it will fail, examples include:
http://www.google.com/http://127.0.0.1/
Inputs that will fail if entered like this (or revert back to the last known valid input, including null):
www.google.com127.0.0.1localhost
Port Numbers
When entered correctly, port numbers can be added to the URI string like this: http://127.0.0.1:5000/
- (TODO: Why is
http://127.0.0.1:80/not valid? Might need "https")
HTTP/HTTPS
Both http and https while part of the URI string is valid.
IPv6
For imputing an IPv6 in a URI field, here is what it should look like:
http://[2606:2800:21f:cb07:6820:80da:af6b:8b2c]/(Leads to example.com)http://[0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001],http://[0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1], orhttp://[::1](loopback address)
