Talked with him on IRC:
<agl> I doubt you would
<greycat> do you happen to know anything about MSKs? Like, what the hell they are? :-/
<agl> greycat: MSKs are a client side keytype and are a sort of index
<agl> greycat: a document contains a list of docname->Freeney key pairs
<agl> greycat: clients can then takes keys in the format MSK@KEY@.....//docname
<greycat> is there any documentation on how to use them?
<agl> greycat: lookup docname in the table - and return the right document
<agl> greycat: well, lots of people manage to insert websites into freenet - so I
guess so. As a point, I try to avoid client side
<agl> greycat: some of the documentation on the freenet site is a little old. If it
talks about javascript - avoid it
<greycat> I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to freenet. Yeah, I've read the old
docs including the discussion of Javascript...
<agl> greycat: I think GJ has some utilities - it's worth looking at his site
<agl> greycat: (link to GJs site on the fproxy front page)
<greycat> agl: damn, I was afraid it would come down to "read the source" at some point
<greycat> yeah, I saw 'da gj' :)
<greycat> ixion: your $DISPLAY isn't set
<greycat> damn
<agl> heh
<agl> I'm editing a 109MB file at the moment - so I'm a little screwed. Gimme a min
<agl> greycat: yea, GJ has manifest tools on his site
<agl> (MSKs == Manifest == MapFiles)
<greycat> I guess I have to grab one and read its source then...
<agl> It's a .jar
<agl> it should be pretty easy to use
<agl> (I'm opening that file again - so I'm going to be a little lagged)
<greycat> I don't care to use things I don't understand... I'd rather uinderstand what
I'm doing first
<greycat> I'll grab it
<agl> MSK@SSK@enI8YFo3gj8UVh-Au0HpKMftf6QQAgE/homepage//website_HOWTO.html
<greycat> agl: oooh, why isn't that more widely publicized?
<agl> greycat: I guess it should be - we're just lazy ;)
<greycat> stick a link to that at the bottom of the old Ian Clarke Javascript docs...
<agl> will do
