However I still think my original idea has merit. What about /:user＠host＠method:path for a specific method? and then /:user＠host:path is handled by the general code to figure out the appropriate method. /:＠host＠method:path is handled by the method the find the appropriate default for user. /:host:path is is handled by the general code to figure out the appropriate method and then by the method the find the appropriate default for user. This is just slightly less compatible. Or is the extra ＠ in use too?
