Funny ideas: -If HTTP-NG something, that solves all the problems of the web and the rest of the world, I think, it is a good idea to think about integrating FTP, so special command set for file transfers / universal file description :) / in HTTP-NG. Because, lower layers of HTTP/NG support FTP as well as the web applications, and ftp is not evolving enough fast, but the use of FTP is great in percentage. The other problem is the URL. Should HTTP/NG use the same with overloading just another time or not? Hard to say, but changing the name / and even with a dash in the middle of it / wouldn't be so nice, but.. The other problem, that HTTP in a descriptor is not really nice even now. HTTP:// has not too much meaning to the average user, and simply some funny letters about the internet. Integrating FTP could mean the mixture of the standard OSI layers. It wouldn't be bad to think about it, and make some kind of documents about the role of the HTTP/NG, the layers of HTTP/NG vs OSI layers. It would be nice :) Sorry about the lame email :) boldizsar -------------------------------- Bencsath Boldizsar boldizsar.bencsath@eth.ericsson.se boldi@inf.bme.hu boldi@rulez.org http://www.inf.bme.hu/~boldi --------------------------------
