# lua-uri-telnet(3)

Telnet URI support for Lua URI library

## Name

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

## Description

The class `"uri.telnet"` is used for URIs with the `"telnet"` scheme.  It inherits from the uri.\_login class.

Telnet URIs are not allowed to have any information in their path part, because there isn't any specification defining what it would mean.  An empty path or a path of '/' is acceptable, and normalized to '/'.  Any other path is considered invalid.

The default port for telnet URIs is 23.

There are no extra methods defined for telnet URIs, only those described in [**lua-uri**(3)](/lua-uri/3.md) and [**lua-uri-\_login**(3)](/lua-uri-_login/3.md).

This class is based on "RFC 4248".
