Q. is an XSS worm on the way? A. not unless you make your interface susceptible to known web app vulnerabilities: XSS, SQL Injection, session hijacking, etc.
Don't misunderstand me, i am 100% for mixing web & local app through a web interface: I am very interested in netvibe's "universal" widget API ( http://dev.netvibes.com/ ), as well as openkapow (http://openkapow.org/ ) which could allow to compose your OS following your needs. You could even port the local widgets back (if they follow the API) and use them (in a limited fashion) on your desktop...
I'm doing to prevent it. 1) I'm going to run my code through an automated scanner. I recommend these things to everyone. [...]
Glad to see that you had security in mind from the beginning ! I mean the question had to be asked, as you are doing GUI experimentation :)
So, if you want to see if the phone just rang, you have to keep pinging the web server every second or so, and if it responds with "I'm ringing," you fire off the javascript that draws the "I'm ringing" icon on the interface.
No, this doesn't seem very energy-sparing...
stinkin' feature, it is. But IIOP with a Java or Smalltalk BOA can be implemented fairly easily and without bloat.
Talking about squeak, what about http://www.seaside.st ? Florent _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
