This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 4880 and 3156) --R30gMv1c8FBKbSptC97MOa7nliVu5aPa7 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On 31/10/2013 21:04, Allan Jude wrote: > I wonder if the http+pkg:// protocol can solve this, likely will requir= e > a patch to fetch to implement the logic to do the dns lookup and make > the proxies request for the real hostname It's pkg+http:// or pkg+https:// or pkg+ssh:// or -- well, you get the id= ea. pkg+http:// is really exactly the same as the current http:// PACKAGESITE URLs -- the new code pretty much checks that the first four characters are 'pkg+', moves the string pointer to the following character (ie the h in http://) and then carries on exactly as it works right now. We'll be accepting either form certainly throughout the lifetime of 1.2.x release, but printing a warning to switch to pkg+http:// where relevant. The reason for doing this is that according to RFC 2616 in a URL of the form http://some.add.ress/ the 'some.add.ress' bit has to be either an A or a CNAME record that can be resolved to an IP address. Since we can't change the meaning of 'http://' in URLs, we've just invented our own URL scheme. Once it is in reasonably widespread use it's pretty much going to be de-facto accepted, and we can apply to ICANN to have the scheme officially registered.
