Well sure but it's more intuitive if you are able to just do
/freenet/[EMAIL PROTECTED] - or at least /freenet/quick/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (I
accept
that some files will take *ages* to fetch and so need a different API).
That depends on the intended use; do we want to make the Freenet key
space to look like an extension of the file system, or do we want a
file-like, scriptable, interface to the network?
I rather suspect you'd need some *ugly* ioctl to make the
/freenet/[EMAIL PROTECTED] interface work for large files or SSKs. How do
you report "bad key format" or "splitfile error" or any
Freenet-specific error with the simple FS interface?
