I'm not quite sure what you mean, but if you mean client-side controls like redirects then it's not a protocol issue (being client-side). But yeah, if that's what you mean then that seems sensible except that it'd prefer that it was explicit that it was a control file instead of implicit by the length. I want a big HI I'M A CONTROL FILE label stamped across it. Which is why I think it would be good to have a field in the message (say, Content-Type=freenet/control) and then put the control file in the trailing field. Another reason to put the control file in the trailing field is in case you want to have non-fieldlike information. Putting in a field or two works fine for redirects, but gets unwieldy with things like indices. _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
