Do you know where I can read more about QR code protocols? I was under the impression that a simple URL (with http/s) is common, and I've never had it not on any device.




Not OP, but I found this article recently: https://cubiclenate.com/2024/03/22/generate-qr-codes-in-the-...

Includes patterns for wifi credentials, calendar events, and a few more.


There's no special URL there either, though. The parent specifically mentioned a protocol with semantics for "web links", hence my question.

Same, am I making qr codes wrong? Like you, I've never seen a simple https link in a qr code fail
