When first joining a mailing list, it's generally good etiquette to peruse the list archives prior to posting; not only to get a feel for the community, but also to ensure your question or statement hasn't been brought up in the past. http://emu.freenetproject.org/pipermail/support/ As for the Javascript requirement... I suggest switching 'require' for 'intelligently utilize'. I can see how the use of Javascript and AJAX-type functionality can make the FProxy experience much better; however, there is a lot to be said for gracefully degrading to support user agents that are unwilling or unable to execute javascript, such as Lynx, or possibly Curl. Likewise, since this is still highly experimental software, there is at least a slight probability of a bug or a maliciously crafted insert slipping a bit of Javascript through the content filter, so having the option to disable it completely (at the expense of a slower or less-featureful FProxy experience) might be beneficial for those truly paranoid. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net <cyber...@cyberleo.net> Furry Peace! - http://wwww.fur.com/peace/ _______________________________________________ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
