Where does URI start?

[Loren Wilton <lw...@earthlink.net>]

Does a uri element include the "http://", or does it start following that?
If it starts after that, is there some way I can anchor a pattern match to
start from the front of the string?

What I want to do is detect an = sign in the host name part of the uri.  I
have a rawbody test that works well for this, but was thinking a uri test
might be more efficient.

I'm sure this must be in some FM, but I haven't found the right one to RTFM
yet.  :-)

Thanks,
