   Hello again g00r00!   
      
   When experimenting with dlreq I noticed (when running things through the W3C   
   Markup Validation Service) that the ampersand in @LINK@ links should probably   
   be HTML-entitized, i.e.:   
      
   http://scbbs.nsupdate.info:50080/dlreq?443cf3d1&gwo0.11-sample-win32.lzh   
      
   ...should probably be:   
      
   http://scbbs.nsupdate.info:50080/dlreq?443cf3d1&gwo0.11-sample-win32.lzh   
      
   ...even though many web browsers might "fix" this up on their own.   
      
   Also, does @LINK@ URL encode special characters in file names?   
   (I haven't tested that.)   
      
   Finally, I'm wondering if there shouldn't be field names and equal signs   
   before the ID and the file name? Something like:   
      
   http://scbbs.nsupdate.info:50080/dlreq?id=443cf3d1&   
   f=gwo0.11-sample-win32.lzh   
      
   Although I guess the parsing can be done by dlreq anyway as it knows the   
   format...   
      
   Best regards   
   Bj”rn
