Subject: [9fans] webfs on p9p
Topicbox-Message-UUID: ad0d46d0-ead0-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

Call me a masochist, but in a fit of writing much too much code this  
weekend, I thought I'd have a poke at porting webfs to p9p; after  
all, we can't let only native plan9 people benefit from abaco :-)
I haven't had a working plan9 box since my shuttle died, so I'm  
wondering if I  have a bug or if I just don't understand webfs.
Overall it's looking good: the synthetic file system shows up in my  
namespace, I can make a new connection, but I can't seem to write a  
uri to it using 9p:
% echo 'url http://slashdot.org/' | 9p write webfs/0/ctl
9: write error:  parseurl: newline in URI

So I ditch the newline put on by echo:
% echo 'url http://slashdot.org/' | 9p write webfs/0/ctl
% 9p read webfs/0/ctl
	0
acceptcookies on
sendcookies on
redirectlimit 10
useragent webfs/2.0 (plan 9)
%

No URL.  Am I sending it wrong?  Or do I have to find where the file  
server is hooped?
