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.
