If we're sure that what is connecting to us is a web browser, and the data is not in cache, we should show a loading screen when a user clicks on a link. With javascript this could be updated in real time, without it it could still be shown with a series of redirects.
ADVANTAGES: - Reduce the level of user aggravation by showing them that something is happening. - Possibly reduce the number of browser connections needed and thereby reduce the impact of running a non-optimised profile. (We WILL still need a custom browser profile however for security reasons). - Look better. - We could probably get rid of the 2MB stream-to-browser file size limit if a loading screen is displayed: We could just show the loading screen until the data is available and then send the whole lot to the user. https://bugs.freenetproject.org/view.php?id=2781 Thoughts? Should this be a priority for 0.8? Does anyone want to implement it (I'm pretty busy atm!). Does anyone know Javascript well? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
