I suggest it be an error not to give a fully qualified URL and just leave it at that. Deriving a filename automatically would be add specialized behavior on the part of fetch, and I'd prefer to keep its specialized behavior to a minimum. > @@ -193,6 +195,8 @@ > =09signal (SIGQUIT, die); > =09signal (SIGTERM, die); ^^^ Looks like your mailer intervened unpleasantly? Either that or mine did - anyone else see the tabs expanded in these diffs? It makes them rather difficult to apply. :-) Jordan
