Where did you get your code in June? I fixed this problem in the CVS tree back on January 11/02. You must have had an older snapshot. > The other problem is the format of "kurl"s, which use a > single '/' after the ':'.

Comments or > pointers would be welcome. The proper fix would be in htcommon/URL.cc, where it handles parsing of URLs. I think it has to deal with exceptions like this on a case by case basis. -- Gilles R. Detillieux E-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Spinal Cord Research Centre WWW: http://www.scrc.umanitoba.ca/ Dept.
