It is for people (organizations? ;-) ) like CofE who are inserting from transient nodes. Deleting keys from the local store and re-requesting them allows freesite publishers to see whether their content actually made it out into the network. All I am doing is providing a scalpel to substitute for the sledgehammer approach that most successful transient inserters are already using -- i.e. nuking the data store. --gj p.s. I implemented this because I think it's useful. If people think it's a bad idea I will back it out. -- Freesites (0.3) freenet:MSK at SSK@enI8YFo3gj8UVh-Au0HpKMftf6QQAgE/homepage// (0.4) freenet:SSK at npfV5XQijFkF6sXZvuO0o~kG4wEPAgM/homepage// _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
