Re: [curn-users] Trying to use a URL to my config file

[Mark Fletcher <dafletcha@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the quick reply, Brian.

I realize it's not often that someone would want to access the .cfg
file via http. In my case, the box that curn is running on is a remote
Linux server, but I'd like to be able to store and manage the .cfg and
.ftl files in my CMS, which has a J2EE webapp interface as well as a
desktop client. 

It would be great to have this enhancement added to your next version.
Until then, I can at least keep my .ftl file in the CMS.

Thanks again,
Mark
