Hi William, Currently, the aliases added/deleted after startup are not added to an alias file.
There are a couple of policy issues to think about: 1. Would the file be opened and closed with every alteration? With the new entry appended to the end? 2. Should the "saved" alias file be the original, or a new file (possibly the same one if the same name is specified). And the real problem that has held me back: 3. How do I handle a distributed system with owhttpd, owfs, and owserver(s)? Each one might see only some of the alias activity. In the limit we almost need a separate alias database with communication between all programs. The easiest approach would be to add a flag that the alias file will be updated with each entry/deletion and you could put that on your owhttpd. Would that solve your needs?
