[kepler-users] transfering proxy information between actors.

[Jianwu Wang]

Hi ufuk,

    As far as I know, current GlobusJob actor was implemented long time 
ago and does not support Globus 4.2. Probably also for GridFTP. Sorry 
about the that.

    I'm working on new version of these actor. I'll let you know once I 
finish them.

Best wishes

Sincerely yours
