Yes there is - see <URL:http://www.path.net/mitra/urn.html>. Plus
there is at least one (rough!) implementation - e.g. check out
<URN:dns:lut.ac.uk:rfc1590>
I'm using port 10043 for this server. Mitra et al - any progress on
choosing a port number ?
Set urn_proxy to "http://dir.lut.ac.uk:10080/" for proxy HTTP lookup.
This needs more work, though. At the moment it just about covers
the basic functionality (URN->URC) but has some bugs - e.g. always
returns HTTP/1.0 headers...
Cheerio,
Martin
