Another quick question :) Are the rules for creating a download url from the "file" tag in the rdf catalog consistent?
let's say i have a html and zipped file, of #etext15560 , in this case the download link is &f;dirs/1/5/5/6/15560/15560-h.zip
The way to recreate from the arguments is obvious (if lengthy), but i seem to recall it changed before - is there a algorithm that always gives a "valid" link, or should i just give up compressing this and include the link in my db?
The "algorithm" is the expansion of XML entities, which any common run-of-the-mill xml parser will do for you. I think we had this discussion already. This is an XML file and should be processed thru an XML parser. If you don't, every little cosmetic change to the file structure will break your program.
