Re: [freenet-support] CS Project
peer reviewed publications about it out there. Woah. Well, I pointed them to the IEEE paper for starters. The submitter really has to be a small-footprint application like a browser applet. Hmm. So what would it connect to? Browser applets can only talk to the server they were downloaded from - do you mean literally a browser applet with it just talking to that node? Or do you mean a small standalone app e.g. a transient node? Ideally, an applet that then seeks out Freenet seed nodes it is told to go attempt to submit to. If implemented as an applet, it may have to use a socket via javascript or similar. I speak here in ignorance of Freenet protocols involving certificates, but there's our aim anyway. I think a transient node is what we're after. We think some of our users may be happy to host a node the proper way but we can't make them. We want them to use the network for a single transaction without hosting a node. They would not download anything. They do not need a receipt.

[freenet-support] CS Project
Dear Freenet, I am an industry partner in a computer science student project to potentially use Freenet to transmit files. We are keen to adapt or create a lightweight client, preferably an applet, that can talk to Freenet seed nodes and post files. We are familiar with the downloadable Freenet client but are seeking to use the network for one-off sessions from people who cannot host a node nor download anything. The other end of the project seeks to do the same thing for fetching such submissions. All submitted files will be very small, only a few K. We have some resources to create new work, work with your protocols etc. Can you please let me know if this is a good idea, possible, already done etc? I apologise for using a support list to ask such a question but I suspect this kind of thing will be known by those who listen in here. Ultimately, the project would like to promote the establishment of Freenet nodes to bolster the network but for starters, we need to explore its potential for such low-footprint users. Best, Craig.

Wrong. It's quite possible to interface to freenet on the FNP level. Have a look at freenet/client/FNPClient.java .
