There's no such thing as a nested URL. It's either a proper URL, or it's not.

However, if we get decent URI support (which I intend to provide), we could invent an \
URI scheme of our own and do things like:

accessing a file inside a remote tarball:
  multi:fish://me server domain com/home/me/file tar gz,tar:/directory/file c
automatically uncompressing a gzip's content:
  multi:file:///home/thiago/text.ps.gz,gzip:/

It would probably be a good idea to try and standardise that as a FreeDesktop spec, \
so that we are allowed to pass them in %U/%u.

It would also be possible to craft such a solution with the current implementation, \
using kioslaves:

multi://me server domain com/?p1=fish,home/me/file tar gz&p2=tar,directory/file c
multi:///?p1=file,home/thiago/text.ps.gz&p2=gzip

What do you think?
I prefer the URI way, since it's cleaner, but I'm not sure if it is supported by KIO \
currently. What it would lack is proper hostname-encoding, since KURL doesn't support \
URIs very well now. The second one, though, is fully compliant and would certainly be \
doable now.

I am assuming the second and further ioslaves down the chain don't need hostnames, \
ports, usernames or passwords. Can you think of a situation where they would be \
required?

(I can imagine people wanting to nest fish inside fish for proxying, but I don't \
think we should support that) _______________________________________________
