Sorry, there are a large number of non-viewable things that already happen
when I use http:

     - java & javascript
     - management (port 280? 380?)
     - etc.

Perhaps we should have java:, mgmt: URLs?

Either we do it for EVERYTHING or NOTHING; it is too confusing otherwise
and since there are to many pre-existing cases, I don't think we can change
the rules for application/ipp carried on http.
