Sure, it is doable, of course. It is just a matter it being an ugly thing to do. The other factor is: What should we do when we get a response that doesn't contain the magic token? Suppress any UI? Pop up an error message? I'm probably in favor of the latter (displaying a message about invalid content being received when checking for a new release). -D _______________________________________________ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
