Another vote for removing node3. Vladimir, Node3 was useful to guarantee binary retrieval of files in the FRS prior to the default MIME type change. This node was necessary when anonymous FTP was available too. All of this had to do with a small subset of extensions being recognized as binary for downloads. Example: a file with an extension of .iso would download as text. Our workaround was node3. It allowed us to designate the file as an ISO and use a known good binary extension of .bin for the file. Now that access to the FRS is http only and the default mime type is application/octet-stream node3 is redundant. -- Mike Noyes <mhnoyes @ users.sourceforge.net> http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ http://leaf-project.org/ http://sitedocs.sf.net/ http://ffl.sf.net/ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
