The Internet Search Path assumes that all Object Stores on the search path are "Active" HTTP servers capable of handling HTTP POST requests and querying an object database. In future revisions, it is planned to allow Object Stores on FILE or FTP servers (or simple HTTP servers) in addition to the existing support for "Active" HTTP servers. No further details are available."Pluggable" Setup-script handlers
Although Internet Component Download currently supports a limited .INF setup-script syntax, future releases will take into consideration the need to support "hooks" that allow custom setup handlers to interact with the component download and installation process. For example, it would be desirable to use Win32 standard SetupX .INF files for installation. However, such scripts are not "safe", and allowing such installations would require signing of "trusted": setup scripts. Such work is being considered for future versions of Internet Component Download. No further details are available at this time.
