Some things that should be noted:

Line 9 ⟶ 15:

There is another URI specification in the works that is not network or protocol specific. See http://magnet-uri.sf.net/ for more information.

=== eD2k links ===

[[Ed2k:_URL_scheme|eD2k]] links are links which refer to some file or server in the [[Ed2k:_URL_scheme|eD2k network]].

They have the follwing format:

''ed2k://|TYPE|REST-OF-FIELDS|/''

Note that each field is separated from the others by a pipe character (''|'').

This are the meanings of each field:

*''ed2k://'' -> This is the protocol handler. It shows that the link refers to an eD2k file.

*TYPE -> This indicates the kind of link it is. It's value might be ''file'' when it refers to a file, or ''server'' when it refers to a server.

*REST-OF-FIELDS -> This fields will depend on the type of link it is (describbed below).

=== File links ===

This links add a file to your download list.

They have the follwing format:

''ed2k://|file|NAME|SIZE|[[MD4]] [[hash function|hash]] [[checksum]] |/''

*NAME -> This will contain the name of the file the link is refering to.

*SIZE -> This field contains the size of the file in bytes.

*[[MD4_hash|MD4-HASH]] -> This field contains the [[MD4_hash|MD4-Hash]] of the file.

Aditionally, some other fields can be added after the [[MD4_hash|MD4-HASH]] field. Here are some (these fields are extensible depending on the client you are using):

*PartHashes -> It will show the [[MD4_hash|MD4 hash]] of each [[FAQ_eD2k-Kademlia#What_is_a_chunk?|chunk]] in the file. It's format is ''p='''hash1''':'''hash2''':'''hash3''''' with as many hashes as the file needs.

*Sources -> It informs about possible known [[FAQ_eD2k-Kademlia#What_is_a_source?|sources]] of the file. It's format is "''sources,'''IP:Port''','''IP:Port''','''IP:Port'''''" with as many sources as desired. Note that a hostname may be specified instead of an IP address. Also note that that source fields differ from other types of fields, see the syntax in the example below.

*URLs -> It may happen that the file in the link can be downloaded from some URL. In such cases, it can be told in the link by putting a field like ''s=URL'' and if more than one URL must be written, each will be indicated in a separate field.

*Root Hash -> The [[Root Hash]] of the file (please read about [[AICH]] to know what a [[Root Hash]] is) may be specified in the link by putting a filed like ''h=RootHash''

Examples:

''ed2k://|file|NAME|SIZE|[[MD4_hash|MD4-HASH]]|p=HASH1:HASH2:...|/''

''ed2k://|file|NAME|SIZE|[[MD4_hash|MD4-HASH]]|h=HASH|/''

''ed2k://|file|NAME|SIZE|[[MD4_hash|MD4-HASH]]|/|sources,<IP:Port>,<IP:Port>,...|/''

=== Server links ===

This links add a server (the specified server in the server link) to your serverlist.

They have the follwing format:

''ed2k://|server|IP|PORT|/''

*IP -> IP of the server to connect to.

*PORT -> Port where the server is listening for incomming eD2k connections

=== Serverlist links ===

This links add a whole serverlist to your current serverlist if you had one. It will just be used as your serverlist if you had no previous serverlist.

They have the follwing format:

''ed2k://|serverlist|ADDRESS|/''

*ADDRESS -> Full address to the serverlist file (including the serverlist's filename).

: Are <tt>ed2k://|nodeslist|''address''|/</tt> and <tt>ed2k://|search|''terms''|/</tt> URIs also part of ''standard'' ed2k protocol, or are eMule specific? [[User:Xoneca|Xoneca]] ([[User talk:Xoneca|talk]]) 23:59, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

:

: I think I have compiled all possible params (for a '''file''' link) in a single URI: (Brackets mark optional parts)

: <pre>ed2k://|file|<file name>|<size>|<hash>|[s=<url>|][h=<AICH root hash>|][p=<part1 hash>:<part2 hash>:...|][/|sources,<host>:<port>[,<host>:<port>[,...]]|]/</pre>

== URI? ==

I'm no expert, but isn't it supposed to be URL? [[Special:Contributions/2A02:C7C:36EB:D400:D1F8:7F09:FCF:BDA1|2A02:C7C:36EB:D400:D1F8:7F09:FCF:BDA1]] ([[User talk:2A02:C7C:36EB:D400:D1F8:7F09:FCF:BDA1|talk]]) 07:44, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
