Loading a signed and certified applet pops up a dialog box that says roughly: "You are loading a Java applet which is signed by XYZ. The applet will have complete access to your computer. Do you trust the signed applet from XYZ?" to which the response is either going to be: "Yes, I want to see the dancing cats!" or "WTF is this? Am I being hacked?!?!" In the last three times we had this discussion, we already discarded the idea of a Java applet uploader for this reason -- the security warnings for signed applets are disruptive. (Now, as an opt-in for power users, it might still be neat. But if we can provide the same capability and *no warnings* using a Flash uploader [with no proprietary codecs involved!], there's probably not much need to do it in Java too. Be nice if someone could double-check if Gnash supports file uploading. :) - -- brion -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkkrAN4ACgkQwRnhpk1wk47jsgCbBv1BgHpZmhXaYanutuGNL0f/ 4N0AoMbStv3zAYGuSBc9tw9VWqYk7M0s =gcz3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
