text/uri-list is a text format for sending one or more URIs in an HTTP request body. It does not determine where the request goes. In fetch(), put the destination endpoint in the first argument, set Content-Type in the options, and send the URI-list text as the body.

Basic one-URL request

Use the method and endpoint required by the receiving API. This example sends one URL as a single URI-list entry:

const response = await fetch("https://api.example.com/submit", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "text/uri-list"
  },
  body: "https://example.com/resourcern"
});

if (!response.ok) {
  throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
}

const result = await response.text();

The endpoint shown is illustrative, not a guaranteed working API. The server must explicitly accept text/uri-list, and its method, authentication, CORS policy and response format are endpoint-specific.

What each part of fetch() means

Part Role
fetch(url, options) first argument The HTTP request destination.
method The HTTP method documented by the endpoint, such as POST.
headers["Content-Type"] Declares the media type of the request body.
body The data submitted to the server; here, URI-list text.

Do not put the submitted URL in the Content-Type header. A header describes the body; it is not a second request destination.

Elebase USB to USB C Adapter for iPhone 18 Pro Max,USBC Car Charger Adapter
  • Read Before You Buy — No Video Output: These adapters support charging and USB 2.0 data transfer, but cannot transmit video signals. Except for standard USB webcams (which use USB data only), they are not compatible with HDMI/DisplayPort cables, video-capable USB-C hubs, or docking stations with video output.
  • Convert USB-A Ports to USB-C: Designed to connect USB-C earphones, cables, flash drives, card readers, and other USB-C accessories to standard USB-A ports. Plug-and-play with no drivers or software required.
  • Aluminum Alloy Housing: Built with a sturdy aluminum alloy shell that aids in heat dissipation and protects against daily wear and scratches. Designed to maintain a stable and secure connection.
  • Compact & Travel-Friendly: The ultra-compact design allows the adapter to stay plugged into your device without blocking adjacent ports or adding bulk, reducing wear and tear on your original USB ports.
  • 12-Month Warranty: Backed by a 12-month manufacturer warranty for peace of mind. Designed to meet strict quality control standards for reliable everyday performance.

Formatting a text/uri-list body

RFC 2483 defines the format as a line-oriented list intended for automatic processing. Use one URI per line and terminate lines with CRLF (rn).

  • One non-comment line represents one URI.
  • A line beginning with # is a comment.
  • Do not wrap a long URI across multiple lines.
  • A leading # cannot be used to include a URI fragment; it makes the line a comment.

Sending multiple URLs

const uriList = [
  "https://example.com/first",
  "https://example.com/second"
].join("rn") + "rn";

const response = await fetch("https://api.example.com/submit", {
  method: "POST", // Replace with the endpoint's documented method.
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "text/uri-list"
  },
  body: uriList
});

The receiving service decides whether multiple entries are allowed and how they are processed. A service may accept only one URI even though the media type supports a list.

When the URL belongs in the fetch destination instead

If your goal is to retrieve a resource at a URL, use that URL as the first argument to fetch(). Do not send it as a text/uri-list body unless the target service specifically requires the URL as submitted data.

const response = await fetch("https://example.com/resource", {
  method: "GET"
});

These are separate choices: the fetch URL says where the request goes, while the body says what data the request sends.

javascript: is not a Content-Type value

A javascript: URL is a navigation mechanism that executes script in a document context. It is unrelated to the HTTP Content-Type header and is not a substitute for either the fetch destination or a URI-list body. Such links also have security, accessibility and usability drawbacks.

Validate URI-list input before processing it

Treat every submitted URI as untrusted input. Automatically dereferencing entries can disclose sensitive locations or trigger consequential actions. Before opening or fetching a URI, the server or client should apply an explicit policy.

Checklist before deploying

  1. Confirm the endpoint URL and required HTTP method.
  2. Verify that the endpoint accepts text/uri-list rather than JSON, form data or another media type.
  3. Send one URI per line with CRLF line endings.
  4. Check authentication and browser CORS requirements.
  5. Confirm how the server reports validation errors and returns success.
  6. Validate and constrain every URI before any automatic retrieval or action.
