When they first showed up a while back, there were all sorts of people
trying to get these working. The first problem that was encountered
was that you had to have the internal (batpgpxx.dll) as well as PGP
installed. This has to do with the fact that the submission forms
require signing.
I'm pretty sure that this is still the case, and in the help file
there is an example submission form which you can cut and paste to a
file.
We (the moderators) had even considered doing submission forms as a
form of feedback to TBUDL/TBBETA for submissions to the wish list,
FAQ, and shortcuts list. However, we didn't want to require everyone
to have to install PGP just for that purpose.
If we could get around that to where submission forms could be created
that didn't require signing, then I'd implement them in a heartbeat.
They appear to be fairly straightforward in their implementation.
I can come up with a few good uses for submission forms for things
like:
- Retrieving current banking statements
- Trouble tickets for tech support
- Member price list requests (for e-commerce that maintains a public
price list and a member one.)
- Intranet information requests.
- etc...
However, for these to work, the server (the place you are requesting
the above from) must have the support for these facilities.
