Also, while base 64 is certainly best for PK and crypto keys, I'd plug for hex if you're encoding metadata, for the same reasons, that it matters to developers to be able to manipulate the URI, and while I can adapt to thinking in hex, base 64 is a bit of a stretch. It's still scary enough to keep the cherished 90% from messing with it. freenet:SSK at j9-x~6R0AAT8wGv0XWqgbIBOODIQAgE,0x02015180/blowjob 0x02 == date redirect 0x015180 == 86400 (increment) -- # tavin cole # if code is law, then Freenet is a crowded theater _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl >From devl-admin at freenetproject.org Sat Apr 7 21:23:47 2001 Return-Path: <devl-admin at freenetproject.org> Received: from hawk.freenetproject.org (postfix@[4.18.42.11]) by funky.danky.com (8.9.3/8.8.7) with ESMTP id VAA07368 for <danello at danky.com>; Sat, 7 Apr 2001 21:23:46 -0400 Received: from hawk.freenetproject.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by hawk.freenetproject.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 40F1358096; Sat, 7 Apr 2001 18:06:04 -0700 (PDT) Delivered-To: devl at freenetproject.org Received: from server5.generalmail.com (server5.fpw.ch [194.209.117.20]) by hawk.freenetproject.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9215F57D9C for <devl at freenetproject.org>; Sat, 7 Apr 2001 18:05:42 -0700 (PDT)
