As you say, this could be done as a server-private mechanism, but there's no reason why everybody shouldn't do it the same way. A couple nits: > * The first byte in file is byte number 1. Blech.

The ampersand character has odd interactions with SGML entity reference syntax in HTML. This URL: http://host/path;param1=val1¶m2=val2 has to be written: <a href="http://host/path;param1=val1&param2=val2">xxx</a> <a href="http://host/path;param1=val1&param2=val2">xxx</a> in HTML. I suggest you separate parameters with ';' in stead: <a href="http://host/path;param1=val1;param2=val2">xxx</a> Save everybody a little grief. Dan
