the correct structure of an url

[rhgiant]

Hello,


Just want to make sure that a correct url must have a '/' after the domain.

1) http://example.com?blahblah=test

2) http://example.com/?blahblah=test

3) http://example.com/page.php?blahblah=test

4) http://example.com#fragment

5) http://example.com/#fragment

1 and 4 are malformed urls, am I right? What is the RFC defining this?

Well the domain should have the / yes. Doesn't mean it can't be processed without, but you should have the '/' yes.

Does someone know what is the RFC (or other official ressource such as w3c) defining this?
