In loader.c, it looks like the only code to put stuff into loaderData->methodData from the command line is for NFS. There's a comment: "/* JKFIXME: handle other methods too, and not here... */." I want to use this for FTP, so I was going to quick put in a bit to make it cope with ftp URLs, but the "and not here" gives me pause. Jeremy, how high on your "fixme" list is this bit? I presume you have some sort of more elegant solution in mind; is it worth my while to hack up a quick-and-dirty "do ftp too" patch? -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
