All of the WWW clients that I have seen do not support<br> this file type. Why not?<br> <p> A page similar to the Gopher index page could be displayed,<br> with some additional instructions on how to construct a query.<br> <p> For instance: To search on all fields simply say "query STRING"<br> To search on a particular field like a name field<br> say "query name=STRING"<br> <p> The client simply has to send an extra "\nquit\n" to complete the<br> query, or cut off the connection when the string "200:Ok" or<br> "501:No matches to your query." is sent by the server. <br> <p> Considering the fact that there are over 100 CSO servers available<br> for these queries, doesn't it seem necessary to support them?<br> <p> Maybe a new url type is in order:<br> "cso://cso.univ.edu:105/"<br> <p> :lou<br> <pre> -- ************************************************************************** * T H E U N I V E R S I T Y O F K A N S A S * * Lou MONTULLI @ Ukanvax.bitnet * * Kuhub.cc.ukans.edu * * Nothing difficult, Ukanaix.cc.ukans.edu ACS Computing Services * * is ever easy! 913/864-0436 Lawrence, KS 66044 * * * * For how we live is so different from how we ought to live that he who * * studies what ought to be done rather than what is done will learn the * * way to his downfall rather than to his preservation. -Machiavelli * ************************************************************************** </pre> <!-- body="end" --> <hr> <p> <ul> <!-- next="start" --> <li> <b>Next message:</b> <a href="0262.html">Marc Andreessen: "NCSA Mosaic for X 0.10 released"</a> <li> <b>Previous message:</b> <a href="0260.html">Marc Andreessen: "Re: proposed new tag: IMG"</a> <!-- nextthread="start" --> <li> <b>Next in thread:</b> <a href="0264.html">Thomas R.
