Hi, More than half a year ago, we had a discussion about how line endings should be treated when storing files in the database, and how differentiation between non-text (binary) and text files should be performed.
I don't recall what the concensus was, except that line endings are converted to \n before storing the file in the data base. I have the feeling that however good, there's always a possibility that a non-text files be interpreted as text files. As long as you're playing entirely in Unix, it's not a problem, since the line ending is a \n, so there will be no conversion. On Windows or on Mac, where the line endine is \r\n and \r respectively, the matter is different. I'm thinking that files should be stored entirely unchanged in the database, and *possibly* be interpreted on output. It has the benefit of not being destructive, which I think would be a good thing... Comments? Cheers, Richard ----- Please consider sponsoring my work on free software.
