I tested it out, it works great! it's a great "copy and paste"
tutorial. thank you.
One thing I must say however, In the RPM package, the /Clients/
JavaScript.js has a bug which stops APE from loading,
on line 123 it has:
iframe.setAttribute('src','http://' + config.frequency + '.' +
config.server + '/?[{"cmd":"script","params":{"domain":"' +
document.domain +'","scripts":["' + config.scripts.join('","') +
'"]}}]');
-it should be-
iframe.setAttribute('src','http://' + config.frequency + '.'
+config.server + '/?' + escape('[{"cmd":"script","params":
{"domain":"'+ document.domain + '","scripts":["' +
config.scripts.join('","') +'"]}}]'));
notice the escape command.
