: i tried the trick, but i got what follows:
:
: [dom_at_grullo ~]$ curl --version
: curl 7.2 (i586-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl 7.2.1 (SSL 0.9.4)
:
: *** exited: 2
: [dom_at_grullo ~]$ curl file://home/dom/incoming_done.html
: curl: (6) Couldn't resolv host ''

I think the file-type URL spec says you must write "file://localhost/..." (or
a hostname instead of localhost).
