Hi Andreas, OK, so it would appear that we will need to extract out the information after the "?" and pass that as a separate parameter. I do that, instead of passing the complete url, so as to not re-implement searching for the opaque information in every function. The called function, hoewver, is responsible for making sense of the opaque information. That does mean changing most file system calls to include the opaque parameter. That also solves the olbd issue in a unified way. Do we all agree to go that route? Andy On Tue, 26 Apr 2005, Andreas Joachim Peters wrote: > As it is, it is absolutely fine for me.
