[Tech] Fcp woes II

There is no distinction between ClientPutDiskDir and ClientPutComplexDir
in PersistentPut*. This makes it hard to tell both apart. I need this to
do automatic
type conversions.

Just thinking aloud ..I wish ClientPut* (PersistentPut*) would go.
Afaics a new message
would make live much easier on both sides. Any thoughts?


Put
Identifer=any
NItems=N
Persistence=whatever
(...)
EndMessage

...emidiately followed by N items to put

DataItem
DataLength=N
Name=any
(...)
EndMessage
FileItem
Filename=filename
Name=any
(...)
EndMessage
(...)

Btw, on input Fcp does not seem to care if Files.N.* in ClientPutComplexDir
start at 0. This broke persistents.
