Very happy to hear that it's working on Cygwin now. Soon, even the great unwashed masses of Windows users will be flocking to the Citadel revolution!! Seriously though, we should get together sometime to sync up on a "vision" for the Citadel system. It's been a while since we've done that. I'd love it if this could happen in meatspace, but since we're all over the world I guess an online meeting will have to suffice.
[Citadel Development] Latest SVN + CygWin
Wow! It looks like the bug that was preventing the latest version of webcit from working correctly has been fixed. I was able to perform the build successfully. I don't know if it gets said very often, but you guys do know that your all AWESOME right? I'll keep testing it out to see if I find anything...

Otherwise it can corrupt the databases before the lock check shuts it down.
[Citadel Development] Re:ECC
About ECC: Of course I'm not implementing it directly! That would be silly, and code duplication, to boot. As for patent liability, yeah, that would fall on whomever distributes software that links to openssl. Since citadel is dynamically linked, that mean's you're not distributing openSSL libs yourself. (are you? I only track SVN and .debs I build from it, I don't know what's included in the easy install package for example)
[Citadel Development] ECC
Regarding ECC crypto ... You're not actually including portions of an ECC implementation in Citadel, are you? You're just enabling those functions if they are present in OpenSSL. Unless I am misunderstanding? In that case it would seem that the burden of unencumbrance falls upon OpenSSL, not Citadel, even if we allow that particular code to run. Maybe I don't understand the issue.

We could probably save a few cycles by minifying our JavaScript, but I'm not sure where to do it. I wonder if it would make sense to do it as part of the bootstrap process? It really would make life difficult for us developers though. Most of our JavaScript calls are where they need to be ... we can't move them to the end of the page because we don't always know where the end of the page is going to be ... there are a lot of conditionals. Expires headers are easy. All you have to do is go into webcit.c and locate the function called http_transmit_thing(). Oops ... ok, looks like I already did that. Instead, you want to look in the function called output_headers(). You'll see that if 'cache' is nonzero, we allow the browser to cache the page. For that, you'll see that if the page is cacheable we send a "Cache-control:" header. So if you want to do an "Expires:" header as well, all you have to do is calculate a timestamp that's 24 hours for now, convert it to a string using http_datestring(), and output it in that function.

Silences a compiler warning. * Removed parse_url() from libcitadel. No longer necessary because libcurl handles all this stuff for us now.

participation is allways welcome (if you can give a helping hand with kerberos, i'm stuck there... *HINTHINT*), but if one has a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECC_patents it doesn't seem to be that easy... can you give statements under which conditions openssl accepted this patch? I'd say it needs to be turn on/off-able by configure, so if we don't get into troubles here. as freetype for example covers apple patents, but it seems to be ok to distribute it...
