I like “THIS” better, but maybe that’s just my C++ speaking. > would a single slash be out of the question Yes. It already has a legal meaning, at least on POSIX-based web servers. Basically, multiple slashes are suppressed, so that you can do things like: string s1(“http://server/“), s2(“/path/to/page”); return s1 + s2; …without adding explicit checks for this case of having both trailing and leading slashes. It’ll also cause problems on Cygwin, since a leading // is interpreted as a UNC path. e.g. //server/share/dir. I believe I once read they justified that by a POSIX rule that said that doubled slashes at the start of the path were allowed to have implementation-defined meaning. I could dig up the reference, if you like. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
