Yeah I'm aware of these things, but there is more to it than that. As I
said, one of the things I want it to be able to do is to implement "user
friendly" URLs. Using a regexp isn't going to convert the " " to a %20, not
to mention this would mean I'd need to add a regexp library to my program
which runs into the same problems as libwww, it has far more things than I'm
going to need.

Thanks though.
