Re: [Sax-devel] RFE [ #496133 ] New resolver entry point

[Jeff R. <jef...@de...>]

I have been listening for most of this (long) thread. I haven't spoken up
because I don't have a strong enough opinion either way. Some questions that
come up are:

1) In terms of URI resolution are we simply trying to implement:
"/files/test.xml" -> "http://www.example.com/files/test.xml" where the
relative URI is resolved to a fully qualified URI.

2) If (1) then what is the base? xml:base or some provided base? Which takes
precedence if both exist?

3) Should this be part of SAX Interfaces on a whole-- this seems better
relegated to the InputSource class, which would be doing most of the
resolution.

4) I don't want to implement URI resolution according to all of the ietf
drafts (actually I would love to, but I can imagine someone saying this),
yet I want to write a SAX parser... is there a thirdparty URI resolution
package I can use? Is there one in Pascal?

I know some of these might not apply well (or might not make sense)... but I
thought I should interject some questions before this thread goes on forever
