Howdy Folks, Current Strategy: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/SimpleAttach
As part of the simplification process we (WCG and I) would like to propose the idea of cookieless installs. See: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/SimpleAttach#CookielessInstalls Pros: We would be able to get around the various issues with cookies such as: * Browser implementations changing over time. * Sqlite changing over time * Unknown browsers Cons: Realistically we are limited to filenames that are 256 characters in size. Note: By default various shells on Windows limit the file namespace to 256 characters, the limits can by bypassed by prefixing the filename with \\.\ but most users do not know that. I also suspect that most browsers will complain about malware or something of that nature is we attempt to go past 256 characters. ----- Rom _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
