Paul, Thank you very much for your presentation about standardization in EMI middleware stacks for Data Management. The fact that various flavors of storage elements support (or will be supporting) HTTP(S) and NFS is very good news. But as far as I know, gLite does currently NOT accept HTTP(S) and NFS URLs as references for files in the Input Sandbox of gLite Jobs. So please disseminate HTTP(S) and NFS to the providers of Computing Services, and please ask them to accept such URLs as references for files in the Input Sandbox. Best regards. ----------------------------------------------------- Etienne URBAH LAL, Univ Paris-Sud, IN2P3/CNRS Bat 200 91898 ORSAY France Tel: +33 1 64 46 84 87 Skype: etienne.urbah Mob: +33 6 22 30 53 27 mailto:urbah@lal.in2p3.fr -----------------------------------------------------
