Thanks, Lachlan. Unfortunately I won't have time to tackle this in the next day or two, but I'll try to get them in before week's end, so that they make it into the next snapshot. > Both defaults.cc and defaults.xml (in Brian White's > format) are up-to-date with respect to the new attributes. > > The multimatch_factor has been cleaned up a bit compared > with 3.1.6.

Sounds good. If it's simple enough to do so, I may backport this to 3.1.7 when I finally get around to working on that. > On Mon, 11 Nov 2002 15:57, Geoff Hutchison wrote: > > A few notes: > > * does rewrite at start of got_href suffice? > > No. Remember that you might want to rewrite the redirect. > > My question was more about the placement within got_href. > 3.2.0 rewrites *before* normalisation, while 3.1.6 rewrites > *after*.

In retrospect, I think it makes more sense to do the rewrites first off, before anything else, as 3.2 does. I'll likely change 3.1.7 to do likewise. But 3.2 does need a rewrite call in got_redirect as well. -- Gilles R. Detillieux E-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Spinal Cord Research Centre WWW: http://www.scrc.umanitoba.ca/ Dept.
