Just to slightly correct Sai-Lai, the URI scheme you want is corbaloc,
not iioploc. iioploc was used in early drafts of the interoperable
naming service, but it has been changed to corbaloc. As Sai-Lai says,
the object key is not what you think it is. It has some binary data in
it which you have to escape with % to use with corbaloc.

For most purposes, you don't want to be using corbaloc. corbaname is
more useful -- it refers to things in the naming service.

Cheers,

Duncan.
