hello devl!

i've come up with something i think is useful and i'd like to have all your honest 
comments regarding it.

i'd be very happy if especially the client application (Frost/FMB/Fproxy) authors 
could give me their feedback! ;)

Abstract
This spec describes the FRUIT (Freenet's Reactive Upload IndicaTion) Protocol.

FROST[-WOT] currently has an approach of requesting a file upload using "request keys" 
which will be found by the data provider, leading him to upload the requested data to 
be found by the data requester.

As FROST[-WOT]'s protocol is proprietary the author of this document has designed the 
FRUIT protocol.

FRUIT provides:
- a standardized way to request a shared file which has been or has not been inserted 
into freenet. The protocol can be implemented by different multiple client 
applications to exchange and request files between 
them on a standardized protocol.
- content provider authentification
- embedding of already existing data, possibly providing more detailed file information
- renders this UGLY renaming of files from "bg0013.jpg" to 
"super_nice_brilliant_background_image_picture_must_download.jpg" unnecessary as FRUIT 
provides description and keyword fields which preserve the 
filename and enable FRUIT client applications to search for besides the filename
