Back in april, I suggested adding support for "checked jumps" to fproxy.
see: http://lists.freenetproject.org/pipermail/devl/2001-April/005036.html I managed to surive flaming on the list but never got around to implementing it. I noticed that Mr. Snarfoo raised the issue of spurious anonymity filter warnings on his homepage today. I finally have a simple patch for fproxy to add support for checked http and ftp jumps (see attached diffs). The attached html file will give you an idea of how it works for content authors. Basically as long as your link minus the leading "http://"; or "ftp://"; doesn't trip the anonymity filter, you can embed a checked link to it in an html page and that page shouldn't trip the filter either. Note that this still won't allow you to embed links that trip the security filter for other reasons (e.g. because of embedded html control characters, cgi queries etc.). I don't think that there are any hidden anonymity attacks. Let me know if you see any. Obviously, once the user clicks past the warning page out of Freenet all bets are off. If no one screams too loud I would be happy to commit this patch. -- gj -- Web page inside Freenet: freenet:MSK at SSK@enI8YFo3gj8UVh-Au0HpKMftf6QQAgE/homepage// -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
