             Summary: MQTT URI Scheme
                 Key: MQTT-203
                 URL: https://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/MQTT-203
             Project: OASIS Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) TC
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Nick O'Leary
            Priority: Minor


There have been a number of discussions in the community on how to specify a broker's connection details in a uri.

The result of the community discussion is captured here - https://github.com/mqtt/mqtt.github.io/wiki/URI-Scheme

In summary, the following uri format is proposed:

    mqtt://[username][:password]@host.domain[:port][?clientid=clientid]

The uri scheme could alternative be 'mqtts' to specify a secure TLS connection should be used.

I suggest inserting a new section 7, between websockets and conformance, to document this uri scheme.

Whilst we are not here to standardise client APIs, this does feel like a useful thing to document within the spec as it will be a key way implementations will interoperate.
