If file doesn't exist on t= he server it can return redirection to another server. This is my suggestion (without going into details). If you find this temp= ting, I would like to help with developement. --=20 ---------------------------------------- With best regards, Michael Spector Tel: 972-(0)54840565 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-binup" in the body of the message
