And what kind of filtering are you going to apply...? Most typically, when the clients are of HTTP, and if you are going to make filtering/translation to response messages from server to client, we can identify their type by "User-Agent" field in it the request message (if set properly by the client), then apply appropriate filter selected by "CFI script" as follows: [a parameter added to command line arguments] FTOCL=/path/of/filter-spec.cfi [the content of /pat/of/filter-spec.cfi] #!cfi User-Agent: PalmPilots Filter: filter-command1 -- User-Agent: Velos Filter: filter-command2 Cheers, Yutaka -- Yutaka Sato <ysato@etl.go.jp> http://www.etl.go.jp/~ysato/ @ @ Computer Science Division, Electrotechnical Laboratory ( - ) 1-1-4 Umezono, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, 305-8568 Japan _< >_
