We (Mongoose Technology) want Slide to support symbolic links (referential resources) as suggested in the long-dead BIND RFC. The best implementation we can imagine requires the addition of a new HTTP method (BIND) and a change to the underlying structure of Slide. We want to introduce a level of indirection so that all resources are references (like Unix inodes). New links can be added, existing links can be moved and deleted. Only when the reference count goes to zero will the content be deleted.
As I read the source code this will require changes to the content and descriptor store APIs. They will need a method that corresponds to the creation of a new reference to an existing resource. Is there any interest in rolling this into the main Slide source code? If not we're faced with supporting what looks like a highly divergent code base. Any ideas for doing this entirely through custom content and descritpor stores? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
