If plugin developer uses a single key for a Plugin then BBC will aggregate all uses of the key by all users and so developer could never control the frequency or number of times the plugin accesses Nitro - potentially locking all users out. As the key will be in a Perl plugin it will be open access and so it could be copied easily and used by others say to do a DDOS type attack on Nitro.. So it looks like every Plugin user would have to register with Nitro to use the same plugin, for security and to ensure frequency and number of access is under individual responsibility. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103311 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
