GetMesh and GetTexture should be fine in 0.7.4-rc1 (and probably earlier).

I think the "may lead to poor performance" was rather cautious. If anything, fetching via HTTP should lead to better performance since it's not generating lots of UDP messages that have to traverse OpenSimulator's UDP client stack (and hence appear to be able to hold up/crowd out other UDP messages in the process).

Hi Word,

Because with those caps

Cap_GetTexture=""
Cap_GetMesh=""
Cap_FetchInventoryDescendents2=""
Cap_FetchInventory2=""

you won't see any textures on prims ... meaning all prims will be
invisible. Only Singularity 1.7 has this problem and is therefore
banned
The same applies for the experimental Cool VL Viewer which will be on
the banned list as well.

Once I am certain at least GetTexture and GetMesh won't harm, they
possibly can be also allowed. But right now i do what is written in
the comment of the OpenSim.ini:

    ; This is disabled by default. Change if you see fit. Note that
     ; serving this cap from the simulators may lead to poor performace.

Poor Performance ... I am sensitive on that .... and it is even worse...

Take care

Hi Akira,

Why are you banning Singularity ?

Best regards

Hi Fleep,

First, banning viewers is not a good thing, especially not on osgrid,
because osgrid is here for testing the OpenSimulator under real life usage
and as far as i know OpenSim wants to support all of the viewers floating
around.

Buuuuut ... it is really annoying to have a sim crashing when you have a
party with some 15 to 30 people partying. Therefore I enabled on one of
the 50 sims i am maintaining, the following rules:

AllowedClients="Phoenix|Imprudence|Cool|Singularity|Firestorm|0.6.3"
BannedClients="Singularity 1.7"

Those should support most of the used viewers:

Firestorm is in, because many people use it. This is the riskiest part
because with my avatar i crash ( or at least produce ACK timeouts for all
viewers ) the sims all the time using the latest Firestorm.

If you have your own grid, then you can apply viewer restrictions on grid
level.

Take care,
Akira

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone was willing to share their list of banned
viewers used in the config files for Opensim?  I don't know what the
latest and greatest bad viewers are (or really any of them since I don't
use them!), but if anyone has a good list, I for one would appreciate the
info.

For the record, I understand that the banned viewer list in the config can
be overridden by a savvy griefer, so it's not air tight security, but I
figure any effort to combat it doesn't hurt..

Thanks in advance!
