Well, FCP already supports this (GenerateCHK command), FNPClient supports it, and the upcoming FCPClient will. It's just a matter of making the command-line clients and fproxy use it. InsertClient and RequestClient are going to be needing a rewrite soon anyway, with all this metadata handling stuff coming down the pipe. I am thinking of just making a Freenet.client.ShellClient that does inserts, requests, computations, etc. Perhaps we should just get GJ and Mr. Bad to produce a standard command-line client for Freenet.client that does everything people want.. as was suggested. I certainly wouldn't miss Insert/RequestClient. -- # tavin cole # # "The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, # a continual flight from wonder." # - Albert Einstein _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl >From devl-admin at freenetproject.org Mon Apr 9 15:03:55 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 PAA19623 for <danello at danky.com>; Mon, 9 Apr 2001 15:03:54 -0400 Received: from hawk.freenetproject.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by hawk.freenetproject.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 465A7580E9; Mon, 9 Apr 2001 11:46:04 -0700 (PDT) Delivered-To: devl at freenetproject.org Received: from moe.cc.utexas.edu (moe.cc.utexas.edu [128.83.42.2]) by hawk.freenetproject.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D80EE58016
