Old code, perhaps not the best one, but it _is_ possible.

Ok, I'd never suggest to put something like that into our source.
Also, I never put it in the LSR because I felt it's a too poor and bad

But it makes it possible.

Thanks, and sorry for the double-post, but it says at the top of the mailing list that it refreshes every thirty minutes, and today it took much longer.

Anyway, I tested the code and am unfortunately getting errors with 2.19.65. Here's the log file:
