Re: Too long file paths. Should I really care?

OK, so assuming that we have a CFURL created in such a way, what is the 'correct' way of turning this back into an FSRef (since CFURLGetFSRef won't do it.)

What I really want to be able to do is to round-trip from FSRef <--> CFURL (and vice versa) without caring if the url came from my own code or CFURLCreateFromFSRef.

Obviously it involves walking down the path components, and manually using FSMakeFSRefUnicode, but I am guessing that there are some subtleties that would be overlooked. One of the other recent path- based discussions mentioned problems with SymLinks being resolved 'unintentionally' along paths; I wouldn't want this.
