Re: file systems

I agree.  HttpClient is not a all purpose url handler: it is a client 
side implementation of the HTTP protocol.  There are an unlimited number 
of different URL types.  HttpClient should only handle the HTTP ones.

Rob,
HttpClient does not offer support for file:// scheme and I personally doubt that it should, as the protocol in question has nothing to do with HTTP. Other protocols like file://, news://, ldap:// and whatever:// should  be supported on a higher level with http:// and https:// scheme being just a few among many. 

Cheers

Hi there



Just a quick question - The http client doesn't appear to support
file:// as a valid protocol - any plans to implement file system
support?
