Re: [Fwd: a suggetion for a new feature for the linux kernel]




If I'm not mistaken, Java has facilities for such things. Ira is right,
such a thing must not be handled in kernel mode. There's no reason for it
to be.

Question though - how about changing the libc open (If I'm not mistaken
when you call open() it goes to libc which calls the correct system call.)
to parse the filename, if the filename is a URL, a big bloated piece of
code gets the URL and returns a file handle to it, somehow. This way
everyone would be happy. I think.

Nir.
