They're handled in a crude way, hardcoded individually into InsertClient, RequestClient, and SimplifiedClient, and they are handled according to the current ad-hoc metadata standard. Supporting the proposed version 1 metadata standard is going to be a lot more complex than the current ad-hoc one and the crude nature of current metadata handling will lead to a maintainability nightmare. -- # tavin cole # if code is law, then Freenet is a crowded theater _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
