I don't know if you want to be able to request just the Storables.
I think that a request that passes back the encrypted meta-data may well send back the storables as well. If not for any other reason, then that the encryption algorithm used should be in a storable field :-). > > Basically, it should be impossible to tell on the return path whether a > > document or only the metadata of the document was returned.

Yeah, meta-data only requests should not lead to catching, and they should not be have a DataSource field (sending a DataSource field when data is not being sent allows one to "home in" on what nodes are storing the data by sending a new request to each node returned as the DataSource). > _______________________________________________ > Freenet-dev mailing list > Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net > http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev -- Oskar Sandberg md98-osa at nada.kth.se _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
