Hi all,
After deliberating on Ian's feedback, here's the (shonky DNS) method I've
chosen for FreeWeb to convert FreeWeb URLs into Freenet URIs.
Simply, if you want your site,
'freenet:MSK@SSK@buhbuhbuh/sitename//',
to be visible on FreeWeb, all you need to do is insert a key
'KSK@freeweb/sitename'.
Data in the KSK can be empty, or contain a brief (<= 127 chars) comment.
(FreeWeb on the client side will truncate this to 127 chars anyway.)
As for metadata, this should be a date-based redirect to the key containing
the mapfile for today's version of the site
This method is not intended to replace more secure site notification and
access methods.
(FreeWeb will also feature a means for users to nominate any number of 3rd
party in-freenet key indexes used by 3rd-party DNS registrars, as a fallback
for attacks on KSKs.)
Example:
1) You have a freesite which is already accessible as
'freenet:MSK@SSK@ughughugh/pot-mart//'
2) You want FreeWeb users to be able to surf the site as www.pot-mart.free
3) You insert a KSK key 'freenet:KSK@freeweb/pot-mart', containing the data:
'Detective George Johnson's Cannabis Emporium'
and the metadata:
Redirect\n
Increment=86400\n
baseline=20000101000000\n
End\n
freenet:SSK@ughughugh/pot-mart\n
(you need to change the baseline and increment if your site doesn't use the
standard values)
4) Yippee! Your visitors can reach you on FreeWeb via www.pot-mart.free
Any questions - please ask.
Cheers
David
