How do you communicate with that application to tell it to connect to that address to get the string in the first place? That is, how is this string published to the application? If that publication process involves a network connection, why redundantly pass the address over that connection, and open up the possibility of it being further distributed? _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/SLDev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
