Re: [Burp-users] OS X Extended Attributes

[Graham K. <gr...@gr...>]

Hello,

Thanks for the idea.

If that happened, then I would work on it... eventually. First, I want to keep

So it might be faster for somebody else that already knows all about Macs to
do it.

Today, I tried to find if bacula supported resource forks properly, but did
not find anything conclusive (and of course, I can't test it myself).
