It is out of date? Maybe something should be done about that. At least most of FIW code was not made up on that spec, but by inspecting real metadata - it usually looked different. > > b) Let him exist, but don't try to heal him (e.g. let user download it, > > but disable healing when you see the first chunk that has metadata.) > This is clearly desirable if the cost is not too high.

Dunno what your opinion towards voodoo is, but that word seemed to make clear that this solutions has too less effect for being practical. > > Is that Version/REvision=1/End no longer mandatory for files (that are > > referenced from a manifest file) as well? > It is not necessary for FEC chunks. And how is it with usual files? From your answer I guess that it's still necessary, so I have tocrawl through my code and hand through a flag if that FileSection is a whole file or a split part. > > I haven't looked into the freenet code recently, but checking if a chunk > > has metadata and use that for switching off both that check and the > > healing can't be too difficult. > GJ has some doubts about it being all that easy.

Yes, I heard from one that did it (created the account by mail and then used mail2ftp for upping the files), but it was not easy at all. > There are other alternatives if you don't need big files.

No opinion? btw who is responsible for the windows tools? mihi, going to bed now (10:30 pm) _______________________________________________ devl mailing list devl at freenetproject.org http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
