Mario I think the use of the ?? would not be a good URI scheme. However, maybe we could simply make the VFS parameters unique. For example add vfs. in front of them.
For example, http://www/path/cgi-bin/send.pl?FILE=ABC&TYPE=PDF&vfs.proxyHost=proxy.host&vfs.proxyPort=8080 or ftp:/fremantle.org/file?vfs.passive.ftp=true Paul Mario Ivankovits wrote: > > Hi! >> I don't quite agree with this - this may be the common case for HTTP, >> but the URI spec does not enforce it. > Ok, but how should we differentiate between these both use-cases? > > If we would like to allow this style of URL we need some special > delimiter to know what to pass to VFS as configuration and what to pass > further to the server. > And no - I don't want to care if we are using the HTTP or any other > scheme. > > Hmmm ..... what we can do might be something like this. > > We add a new resolveFile method to the FileSystemManager interface: > FileObject resolveFileWithUrlConfiguration(String uri) > > and we separate the VFS configuration using the double question-mark (??) > > A url like: > http://www/path/cgi-bin/send.pl?FILE=ABC&TYPE=PDF??proxyHost=proxy.host&proxyPort=8080 > > will work then. > > resolveFileWithUrlConfiguration will strip the part after (including) ?? > and create the FileSystemOption stuff (if possible) which means the vfs > configuration string will not be shown in the filename. > > Then > FileObject fo = manager.resolveFileWithUrlConfiguration(....); > FileObject fo2 = > manager.resolveFileWithUrlConfiguration(fo.getName().toString); > > will not use the same filesystem configuration. > > This limitation makes it look a little bit hacky - we might remove this > limitation later. > > > What do you think? > > Ciao, > Mario > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Specifying-options-to-FTP-etc..-tf4346550.html#a12492674 Sent from the Commons - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
