Re: Plans for gnome-vfs replacement

[Mourad De Clerck <mourad aquazul com>]

I was just wondering if it would still be possible to refer to a file
through chained URIs (or IRIs, or whatever new alternative system you're
proposing)

so would something like the following still be possible (in theory, I
know there's no imap: or mime: vfs modules):

imap://user mail domain org:143/fetch%3EUID%3E.INBOX%3E666#mime:///attached_file.zip#zip:///directory/file.txt

in that case, how do you pass parameters to the chained parts, like for
instance a zip password for the last part of the chain? Serializing it
in the URI/IRI itself (...tory/file.txt?password=12345) might be a bit
ugly...?

Anyway, glad to hear you're tackling it.
