Or you could have a magic reserved space for users, that works exactly like localStorage, but is serverside. And limited size. Then implement the thing clientside. So the only serverside thing is the ability to save key "Foo" and get key "Foo", for the current logued user. This is more exploitable than just for drafts. Could be used by extensions to store user controlled config. Perhaps to store some browsing story. Or things you can't imagine yet. The evil twin to this, is that if you implement drafs. Can be abused to have a "localStorage serverside" area. -- -- ℱin del ℳensaje. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
