As I understand it, you can have redirect and info messages but you can't relate a particular info message to a particular redirect. I'd like to have metadata in a redirect. That way I can combine the two kinds of indices: insertion and summary. An insertion index has one key per file. I'd like to change this to one redirect with metadata per file. This is what users insert. Then daemons troll these indexes and create summary index files listing a bunch of keys. I'd like to change this to a single file with a bunch of redirects with metadata. That way we have a nice a totally standard format for files which just happens to act as both types of key index whenever you give the keys names in a particular pattern. The reason this is currently not viable is because Redirect and Info messages are separate. So I can have a collection of redirect and info message, but no way to relate which info message goes to which redirect message. If you could put metadata in the redirect then there would be no problem. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
