Re: [xml] xmlIO extensions

Hi,

>   Sounds cool, if the code is small it could be integrated.
It's not to big:
* zip.h zip.c unzip.h unzip.c from minizip
* xmlzipio.h xmlzipio.c with my code

What would you prefere? The files themself or patches (And against
which version 2.4 and cvs or only cvs?)?

Right now the xmlZipMatch returns false, because the namesplit for
zip-file-uri and absolute-path fails.

Sounds good, but I think this is something for the next release :-)
There are some more things to improve:
1) change zip.c/unzip.c to use xmlIO instead of libc for fileio
2) change the xmlZipWrite to write directly into the file without
   copying all data to a temporary file. (It's quick enough right now,
   but I don't use very big files right now)

I don't know either... has anyone experience with jakarta?

As far as I know jar files don't contain an xml Manifest. I read on
openoffice.org, that they use zip files with an xml manifest, instead
of the normal jar manifest.
