Hi Adrian, Regarding the parsing problem of your URLs, it's not a problem of our implementation. As a metalink is basically an xml file you simply need to escape certain characters or you need to use CDATA. Try something like: <url><![CDATA[ your URL with alice token ]]></url> in your metalink file (it did work for me ;-) Cheers, Michal ________________________________________ From: Adrian Sevcenco Sent: 01 April 2019 15:30 To: Michal Kamil Simon; [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: xrootd python :: CopyProcess - stop the queue if a job succeed On 4/1/19 4:12 PM, Michal Kamil Simon wrote: > Hi Adrian, > > You cannot use a metalink as a destination, but you can use yeah, i know that :P > a metalink as a source for a remote destination ;-) this the concept that i did not thought about :) Thanks!
