That 'file:///' part is there so that the uri module can be notified that the body data is actually in a file and should be read in from disk . . . I don't really like that because it seems a little too magical.
I prefer either amending the current file lookup plugin to read binary data if the file is such (currently it is only able to read text files) or adding a bin_file lookup that is not concerned about utf8, etc. That make any more sense? :-( Thanks a lot, Guy On Sun, Jun 8, 2014 at 11:31 AM, Michael DeHaan <[email protected]> wrote: > I actually don't understand my response to the 1st question of this > thread, that may have been a mis-post. > > " # if body is a file URL, e.g. 'file:///bin/false', read it in and > replace the text of body with the binary contents of the file" > > Sorry, also not following. > > > > > On Fri, Jun 6, 2014 at 9:52 AM, Guy Matz <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi!
