There is still some information that B would have to know that wouldn't be found out just by having A request - such as the port for the node. in 0.4 they'd need to know public keys as well which they aren't going to get. Suffice to say, it works the way you want it to. > Thanks for any help. -Mathew _______________________________________________ freenet-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/tech
