Is there a robust way to avoid this problem? One possibility is that in
data-sch.lua instead of
local cleanname = gsub(original,"[^%a%d%.]+","-")
use
local cleanname = md5.HEX(original) -- gsub(original,"[^%a%d%.]+","-")
appears to work correctly in my tests. The drawback of this scheme is that
instead of
\externalfigure[url ending with .png]
one would have to use
\externalfigure[url ending with .png][method=png]
But \input 'url ending with .tex' still works
The other drawback is the filenames in the cache will be gibberish. But on
the plus side, you can use long urls.
Do you think that the drawbacks outweigh the gains?
I need this for the webfilter module, where the url can get pretty long. I
can always write my own http_get function, but that will be mostly
repetition of data-sch.lua
