Maybe we could add 'mhurl' to produce URLs (and file: URLs > for local storage!) and leave mhpath producing paths?
Tomato, tomahto. "Path" can have different meanings depending on your context, but if you want to be pedantic, maybe have a new program called "mhloc" to represent the location of an nmh resource. mhpath can then just be mhloc, but with a pre-configured setting that if the resource is to a local file, it provides a local pathname instead of a file: URL. Regardless, mhpath should not barf if the resource happens to be a non-local pathname. It will still return a URL for such resources. --ewh _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
