about <support> tag

Hallo,
I'm now coding for my mud some things like client recognition via the <version> command.
I tried this with ZMud and MushClient and all gone well.

Then I began to implement the handling of the <support> tag, which response should be <supports ..> where .. is the list of tags supported by the client.

Some tags "supported" (because I find them in the line of <supports ..> sended my mushclient make me think.
This is what I get from mushclient's <support>:

Log: <SUPPORTS +head +body +afk +title +username +pass +samp +h +high +i +option +bold +image +image.url +xch_page +reset +strong +recommend_option +support +ul +em +send +send.href +send.hint +send.xch_cmd +send.xch_hint +send.prompt +p +hr +html +user +password +a +a.href +a.xch_cmd +a.xch_hint +underline +b +img +img.src +img.xch_mode +pre +li +ol +c +c.fore +c.back +color +color.fore +color.back +font +font.color +font.back +font.fgcolor +font.bgcolor +u +mxp +mxp.off +version +br +var +italic >

Please, notice that it says it supports "IMAGE", "IMAGE.URL", "IMG", "IMG.SRC" among other things.

Now, on my mud I added some "bools" like has_mxp_images or has_mxp_bold on the descr_data in order to know if I can send those tags to the client. I mean, if the client can handle them.

This works with zmud: if I get "+IMAGE" on the supports line I know I can send images, else not.

On mushclient it says it handles +image tag, but I know that no support for the image tag is given for mushclient.

So I ask why mushclient says +IMAGE on the response, when it doesn't really handle the image tag.

Or am I missing something?

It supports the IMAGE tag by generating a hyperlink, that if you click on it, shows the image in your web browser. So, it supports it to an extent.

Here is log of MushClient handling images.
In what am I wrong?
This mxp tag works with zmud and shows the image.
In mushclient it doesn't show anything, even a link.

A 20000: ( 69) MXP element: <image align=bottom FNAME=staff.gif URL=http://anacronia.gamedev.it/img/>
E 1031: ( 69) Invalid parameter name: "/"

Perhaps do I have to use URL=http://anacronia.gamedev.it/img/staff.gif as filename?

I answer myself, "no".

So, what do I have to do?

I think the MXP parsing will not accept slashes as part of a parameter, so you need to quote it.

eg.

<image align=bottom FNAME=staff.gif URL="http://anacronia.gamedev.it/img/">

*looking* :)
