RE: How to clone remote file(s)

Thanks for the tip.

Question about SystemIds and XMLURL:

Before cloning a remote file, I am trying to determine whether it is a
local file already or a remote file.  To this end I am trying to use an
XMLURL object to parse the SystemId and then calling
XMLURL::getProtocol().  But XMLURL::parse() return false if the SystemId
is a local file or if its an invalid SystemId.  And it will never work
correctly at that point to tell me if its 'protocol' is XMLURL::File.
It only reports correctly if its an HTTP or FTP protocol.

So is there some way, or a better way in Xerces to tell if a SystemId is
a local file?

Many thanks,
