Hello, i noticed httpdigest proto has been added to factotum. I didn't noticed that. The latest manual factotum(4) says nothing about httpdigest. What browsers do you recommend to test http digest authentication ? Mozilla is the best ? http://plan9.aichi-u.ac.jp/pegasus/eman-2.0/ http://

Hello, I have been hesitated to support digest authentication in Pegasus (another httpd for Plan9), because I have been suspicious that digest authentication is not widely supported by browsers. If recent browsers are supporting digest authentication, I will try to support it in Pegasus.

anyone thinking about this, could you consider restricting it to the subset of Java libraries (and the few syntax restrictions) that Google's web toolkit supports? That way it could be compiled to HTML/Javascript using GWT compiler. > I think there´s no problem. It´s not mine. It´s made by a stu

the main technical difference is that inferno is designed to operate in a single, flat memory space. it relies on a well behaved virtual machine to avoid processes stamping on each others' memory (hence the use of Limbo rather than C - no difficult pointer arithmetic to check). this avoids the n

The Inferno kernel was created by modifying a then-current Plan 9 kernel. I believe that they do share device drivers, but the Vitanuova folks can probably answer that better than I can. See the Plan 9 and Inferno manuals and nemo's Plan 9 3rd edition kernel commentary for design and implementati

Very briefly, Inferno and Plan 9 kernels are similar, having common ancestry. Application programs on Inferno must be written in Limbo; it's the only language supported. Application programs on Plan 9 are usually written in C. Both systems use essentially 9P2000 as their network filesystem protoc

However I'm curious: When would one prefer/opt to use/deploy Plan9 over Inferno, and/or vice versa? As far as I've been able to tell, it appears that Inferno is pretty much Plan9, but with a couple "additions" - namely: Limbo and Dis - and thus a different development model. Do they both use th
