I think we'll have very primitive security in 1.1. Unfortunately, no one is currently working on anything more in depth so we definitely need help here.Two quick timeline related questions:
How far off (roughly) is adding security to xindice? Does anyone have suggestions on what could be used to secure content now, until the real security is implemented?
For now you have to use a firewall to protect it.
Does anyone have plans of fixing the disabled gzip options, and again, how far away? Could someone who is a newbie to the code easily fix the gzip problems, or does it need a lot of work to make it work correctly?
There aren't any plans to fix it. Tom is the only person who knows any details about why it doesn't work. All I know is that it caused corruption at times when we used it.
Thanks,
Dan
