I was looking through active_scaffold and noticed that, when the
plugin is installed, active_scaffold contacts an external URL.
Doing this, without asking permission and without notifying the person
installing the code, isn't a good idea.
install.rb
--------
##
## Install ActiveScaffold assets into /public
##
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/install_assets'
##
## Install Counter
##
#
# What's going on here?
# We're incrementing a web counter so we can track SVN installs of
ActiveScaffold
#
# How?
# We're making a GET request to errcount.com to update a simple
counter. No data is transmitted.
#
# Why?
# So we can know how many people are using ActiveScaffold and modulate
our level of effort accordingly.
# Despite numerous pleas our Googly overlords still only provide us
with download stats for the zip distro.
#
# *Thanks for your understanding*
#
class ErrCounter # using errcount.com
require "net/http"
@@ACCOUNT_ID = 341
@@SITE_DOMAIN = 'installs.activescaffold.com'
def self.increment
@http = Net::HTTP.new("errcount.com")
resp, data = @http.get2("/ctr/#{@@ACCOUNT_ID}.js", {'Referer' =>
@@SITE_DOMAIN})
end
end
begin
ErrCounter.increment
rescue
end
