remove dns style for domains #352

Closed jreadey closed 6 months ago

jreadey commented 6 months ago

Removing support for dns-style domain names. Previously a domain path like: "/home/test_user1/tall.h5" could be expressed as: "tall.test_user1.home". The DNS style derived from the original rest HDF white paper: https://www.hdfgroup.org/pubs/papers/RESTful_HDF5.pdf, but this doesn't seem to have been used in practice or have any special utility over the more common style. Also, there's some ambiguity with dots that are used as part of the filename rather than a folder separator.
