Having Zope IDs with dots in them is a bit of thorny question. On the one hand, for downloading and uploading files through FTP or WebDAV and for working with external tools, it may be useful for files to have an extension. On the other hand, dots in IDs can be awkward for Zope. Also it can be advantageous to be able to have 'typeless' URLs, allowing you to change the type of object fulfilling a given role while keeping the same ID. So how about an option whereby objects have an appropriate file extension appended automatically when presented through Zope's FTP or WebDAV servers, and conversely have the extension stripped off when uploaded into Zope? Has this already been suggested? Hamish Lawson ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
