Hi Adrian, You can replace the '#' with '?xrdcl.unzip=' however you have to make sure that if the URL already contains a CGI you have to replace the following '?' with '&', e.g. : root://eosalice.cern.ch:1094//15/62933/56da6906-9149-11e7-ba1b-579516ed5c66#AliAOD.root?authz=LONG_ALICE_TOKEN gets transformed into: root://eosalice.cern.ch:1094//15/62933/56da6906-9149-11e7-ba1b-579516ed5c66?xrdcl.unzip=AliAOD.root&authz=LONG_ALICE_TOKEN Regarding the CopyProcess.add_job(...) method I could add parameters that will allow to specify the file name for extraction from zip archive. Regarding supporting the '#' root native format we will have to see with Andy whether this wont harm any existing use cases (as # is a legal character that could be used a file name).

Given this, do you thing that i could use the logic from above? > alternatively I can expose extracting of zip files (root files use zip > format for bundling) > in the /CopyProcess.add_job(...)/ method. that would be great! if it is possible it would be best if the same format of '#file' is recognized (as this is the url that i get when requesting lfn access) Thanks a lot!!
