I'm not messing with the event model at all. It is going to be a challenge to figure out how to make the pluggable metadata handling architecture without screwing up concerns like that, since the nature of metadata handling means spawning additional requests. In all my thinking about how to do this I have been determined not to sacrifice any existing functionality. These are enhancements. -- # tavin cole # if code is law, then Freenet is a crowded theater _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
