Viewer URI Name Space

aka Viewer URL Namespace

aka SLAPP URLs

aka Application SLURL

The SL client supports links of the format secondlife://Region/123/45/67/, which have traditionally specified a region name and x/y/z location. This means "open Second Life and show Region on the world map".

The new URL scheme has 3 slashes, and allows direct control of the user interface and login. For example, secondlife:///app/login

Most secondlife:///app URLs only work from browser instances running inside Second Life because of a denial-of-service attack using secondlife:///app/teleport links to force repeated teleports. SLURLs that work with external browsers include:

• secondlife://<region name>
• secondlife:///app/login
