Larry makes a really good point here. In what I said in the I-D, I confuse the form of the requests that are being sent to the host with those being given by the user in the URL. Also, Reed is correct that we should allow "finger:@somehost". I think the best way to resolve this is to replace: where <request> is any request that conforms to the query specification given in RFC 1288. with: where <request> is of the form: [%2FW[*<%20>]][username]@hostname[*@hostname] I think I got that right; what do y'all think? --Paul Hoffman --Proper Publishing
