Of the 2 schemes I don't see any functional difference. finger:<blah> is certainly more intuitive for most people. finger://<blah>/<blah> is more descriptive from an engineering point of view. It's more intuitive for me. Anyway, I'm liking finger:<blah> best of all now. I assume the request is required to contain at least one @hostname. (Unlike rfc1288.) There's one thing I'd like clarified--will the final @hostname part (from which the connect-to host is derived) be stripped before <blah> is sent to the remote host? -reed ----- University of Tennessee, Knoxville Dept of Computer Science Netlib Development Group 'I was kidding,' says bomb suspect wade@cs.utk.edu -- <URL:http://www.netlib.org/utk/people/ReedWade.html>
