Is there any standard for an afs:// url format? Yes, I realize that file:/afs/... "works". But with the rapid growth that AFS has seen recently due to OpenAFS, I can forsee a near future where a userspace-only minimal (non-authenticating?) AFS client gets bundled into a web browser (say, firefox) or into the various url libraries (libcurl, etc).
A distinction between file:// and afs:// would be necessary in such situations. An in-kernel client is the ideal solution, but userspace implementations will need to arise for those people who are on an unsupported platform, don't have root on their machine, or aren't sophisticated enough for the (still fairly complex) process of setting up an AFS client. - a _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
