The '''view-source''' [[URI scheme]] is used by some browsers to construct [[Uniform Resource Locator|URLs]] that refer to a source display for a given resource.<ref>[https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-yevstifeyev-view-source-uri IETF Draft]</ref>

For example, this [[Uniform Resource Identifier|URI]] would show the source of the page located at [http://www.example.com http://www.example.com]:

'''<nowiki>view-source:http://www.example.com</nowiki>'''

On 25 May 2011 the 'view-source' URI scheme was officially registered with IANA <ref>{{cite web|last=Yevstifeyev|first=M.|title='view-source' URI scheme registration template|url=http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/prov/view-source|accessdate=17 July 2011}}</ref> per RFC 4395.

==Browser Support==

[[Mozilla Firefox]] and [[Internet Explorer]] both supported the scheme, but support was dropped from Internet Explorer in [[Windows XP]] SP2 due to security problems.<ref>{{cite web
