HI.

I just thought of something i think sould be added to the kernel
and i dont know who to turn to, so i looked up the kernel maintainers
file
and found you the closer to the subject

here is my idea:

how about adding the linux kernel some url support,
i mean that when using the file-open system-call, i could specify
a file like ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/linux/find-ls, and it will be
transperent
to the programmer ( and user ) like i tried to open a local file.

i dont think the place for handling URL's are in the aplications, I
think it should be
supported in the kernel and be transperent to the programer and user

please give me a reply soon
( is it possible ?, do i have to ask sombody else ? , if so who ? )


Thanks
Erez.
