A CORBA product may optionally support the "{{mono|http:}}", "{{mono|ftp:}}" and "{{mono|file:}}" formats. The semantics of these is that they provide details of how to download a stringified IOR (or, recursively, download another URL that will eventually provide a stringified IOR). Some ORBs do deliver additional formats which are proprietary for that ORB.
