After it has expired it would act exactly like one of these URIs with a bogus handle. e.g. if the URIs created by this API are of the form local-file:93875, and that is the only particular one that has ever been handed back, then local-file:00000 would return the equivalent of a 404 or DNS error or some such. Then when a URL expires, it goes from working normally to that error state. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
