Hi! This is actully something that I've thought of quite a few times, so
it's great to see it implented :) (I also have a similar idea about
gnutella queries, but we'll go there another day - i've already got two
freenet related projects right now, that's enough :-p)
I do, however, have some issues with it based on your architecural notes
and my reading of your diffs (I was unable to retrieve the source from
that key). This, however, may be completly uninformed bullshit. (I do
excel at that :-p)
Firstly, you can't call it anonymous, since my initial request will show
up in your web logs ;). If anonymity is actully important to you, you
have to proxy through something else as well :-p. As a result, I'm sure
many, many people would be upset if it was committed to freenet CVS right
now, sorry ^_^.
The other issue I see, is that freenet timeouts, running at about 5
minutes for a reasonable node (from cruft's page) or longer for a less
reasonable one (like mine ;)) will make web browsing pretty painful for
files which aren't in freenet (multiple times).
Are you rewriting links and image refrences? Obviously, since I couldn't
get the source to do this, I can't see. If you havn't, i can send you a
diff from another java project that I did that you can use for that, and
if you did, then you probably should mention that in your arch description
:).
Given the lack of anonymity of this, I'd be significnatly more comfortable
if it ran on a different port or something with a big fat warning the
first time you use it.
like I said, cool idea, tho - i really am with you on this one, despite
the reservations :). Anyhow, I was supposed to be at work two hours ago,
so yeah, that's it :). "the american government lies to you. more to
come."
- fish
p.s. being bitter around freenet is like being hot in a sun (no, not
the computers) :-p.
