(RADIATOR) "WARNING: No such attribute" for internal use

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Mark -

Rather than storing the temporary data in the request packet, I  
suggest you store it in the reply packet instead. Then your ReplyHook  
can remove the temporary data before the reply is sent to the NAS.

hope that helps

regards

Hugh

NB:

Have you read the reference manual ("doc/ref.html")?
Have you searched the mailing list archive (www.open.com.au/archives/ 
radiator)?
Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
