I lost a machine today due to a fscked up flash update utility. You are warned :)

Not suggesting we 'ditch' the SSI. Suggesting we do it 'both ways', so to speak... full.html for those who want 'the big list' (it can be grabbed by tag_and_roll, if we like), and the modular design that Joshua is advocating :) > > Especially one that is (in the minds of most implementors) > > malformed. > > That is *such* a load of crap.

SORRY... however it seems there is a heck of a lot of assumptions in the java-based engines that things come in foo=bar notation. I'm not saying that ISINDEX is useless, but the other form is (today) a whole heck of a lot more portable across techologies. > > A number of technologies might barf on ?ONEPAGE, while > > they have no problem with ?ONEPAGE=1. > > Anything that barfs on '?token' and will only work with > '?token=value' is seriously, seriously broken.

A bug report, of course, that I'm not able to place, seeing as I'm reconstructing that machine at this moment. I do believe, however, that jk sessions are implicated - but please DO NOT hold me to that, since I can't verify my frame of reference. Anyways, yes - SSI is a much better choice to pull these together. And yes, some folks would like to read the short pages on what they care about, rather than the mega-list. I'm not suggesting I PERSONALLY maintain it, I only suggested that both 'forms' of the SSI results are distributed. Does that last comment make sense? Bill
