Mark,

I assume you're doing something like this:

	curn http://localhost/path/to/config.cfg

curn does not currently support specifying the configuration file via a
URL. I'm not sure why I never added that capability; the underlying
configuration class supports it. I just never needed it, and no one else
ever requested it.

For now, you have to specify a path to the configuration file, which means
you must be running curn where it can access the file directly. e.g.:

	curn /home/bmc/.curn/bmc.cfg  # on Unix-like systems
	curn "c:\curn\bmc.cfg"        # on Windows

Of course, a network drive (or NFS partition, on Unix) will also work.

I've made a note to put URL-config support in the next version. That
version, 3.1, is currently under development. I have a few more things to
wrap up before I release it, most likely sometime in the next couple weeks.

If this is a show-stopper for you, I could probably work in a 3.0.1 patch
with the URL-config feature, but I doubt I could get to it for a few days.
