However, we must be able to produce a static

filename extension thing.
Would it be possible to use an external tool
like "wget" or maybe Apache Ant, to crawl a local
Forrest server and detect the mime-types and create
the set of files, appending the appropriate extension?
That is just a wild thought, but so many times
i read back through our mail archives, and see
us hindered by this need to stick with the
filename extensions and limit our use of Cocoon.
Our design decisions are hampered.
I'm sure (I have seen the code) that Cocoon CLI has been thought to be
able to crawl also links with ?a=b parameters in it, although I have
never tried it.
I have tried it, the problem is that a '?' is not legal in a file name
on some platforms. So it gets converted to a '_' (I think, it's that
anyway, can't remember exactly). As a result anything with a parameter
breaks the filenames.
I have no idea how something like wget does it.
