yep, was a good talk! :-) The reason for that -- which I did not think of yesterday during the talk -- is that some protocols (most notably HTTP) do not allow fetching a list of all names, but only to fetch a specific file. there are workarounds for that, like many web-servers serving HTML based/formatted file listings when you try to fetch a directory that has no index.html, but that you have to parse first, and it is not always on, and may only work if there is no index.html, ... To have a fixed file name, is also how it is done everywhere else I can think of right now:
The later two are case-invariant, but I think they are only so because that was/is a windows bug aehh.. feature, which complicates things. |
