18 // Briefly, a 'data' URL has the form:
19 //
20 //   data:[<mediatype>][;base64],<data>
21 //
22 // The <mediatype> is an Internet media type specification (with optional
23 // parameters.)  The appearance of ";base64" means that the data is encoded as
24 // base64.  Without ";base64", the data (as a sequence of octets) is represented
25 // using ASCII encoding for octets inside the range of safe URL characters and
26 // using the standard %xx hex encoding of URLs for octets outside that range.
27 // If <mediatype> is omitted, it defaults to text/plain;charset=US-ASCII.  As a
28 // shorthand, "text/plain" can be omitted but the charset parameter supplied.
