The HTTP precent is to probe the file system until you find something. Most HTTP servers have something similar to the PATH_INFO variable which captures trailing path segments. It's ugly, but it's standard practice, and seems better than a separate -d parameter (which sort of defeats the purpose of URIs). -- Florian Weimer <fwei...@bfk.de> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99 -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
