GLB with remote asset URLs

Questions

The sandbox works by chance. I should probably make it fail by default. The glTF spec has this to say about URIs:

glTF uses URIs to reference buffers and image resources. Clients must support at least these two URI types:

  • Data URIs …

  • Relative URI paths — or path-noscheme as defined by RFC 3986, Section 4.2 — without scheme, authority, or parameters. Reserved characters must be percent-encoded, per RFC 3986, Section 2.2.

Implementation Note: Clients can optionally support additional URI components. For example http:// or file:// schemes, authorities/hostnames, absolute paths, and query or fragment parameters. Assets containing these additional URI components may be less portable.

I’m not sure why the glTF-Validator only flags the issue for GLBs. It should flag it for both.
