When we tried that way back when, the issue was just that it actually does a libcurl fetch out of that path and saves another copy of the file into the cache. So I guess, sans the format, the feature request would just be that it would have a shortcut for file URLs to produce the path directly in response to e.g. a debuginfod_find_debuginfo, rather than making a copy of the file via libcurl. Does that seem like a reasonable patch? Daniel Thornburgh | dth...@google.com
