The view-source URI scheme is used by some browsers to construct URLs that refer to a source display for a given resource.[ 1]
For example, this URI would show the source of the page located at http://www.example.com : view-source:http://www.example.com
On 25 May 2011 the 'view-source' URI scheme was officially registered with IANA [ 2] RFC 4395 .
Browser support [ edit ] Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer both supported the scheme, but support was dropped from Internet Explorer in Windows XP SP2 due to security problems.[ 3] [ 4] [ 5] Firefox 3.0.9 .[ 6]
