World: r3wp

Stick with BSD or similar licenses, like OpenSSL or the Putty SSL 
stack.

putty is the best place to start work on adding SSL to R3.  its all 
there, in MIT it is 100% stand alone and the code is compact and 
clean.

The only tricks are to see if it has proper TLS support and whether 
it is suceptible to the recently discovered SSL/TLS protocol vulns.

Putty hasn't been updated in a while and never reached 1.0. Still, 
I agree that it is the best bet.

I wonder why Carl can't reuse the r2 code ...

Because noone understands it, it doesn't do what we need it to, and 
the port model is different.

And it hasn't been updated in longer than Putty.

Hmm... sounds a serious lapse to let code no one understands be placed 
into r/command ...

It works as well as it always has, and it went in when the developer 
(Holger) was still working for RT.

I looked at the putty code about a year ago... and If it had compiled 
under DevC I would have played around with it... now that I've got 
MSVC, I should be able to build the sources... maybe we could just 
repackage the executable loader as a DLL.  it should be too much 
work.

shouldn't

I thought you were doing other stuff?

yes I am... but just thinking out loud... if someone really needs 
it how one could approach the project.

the putty code was very nice, and well documented on top of it.

What are you working on now?

I think having SSL is essential ..

the C language parser, although I haven't done a lot in more than 
a week.  with university starting up and wanting to use up my last 
days of vacation.

university???

yep.  Visual Arts, part time (although this semester I am doing a 
full time semester, since the courses I took are easy for me).

funny in one of my courses I have to build a web page... hehehe a 
web 1.0 type web page... the kind that I can write using notepad 
in an hour hehe

I might even offer a bit of tutoring for those who don't understand 
it.  


with all the web's ubiquity, most people (non programmers) still 
don't really know what they are doing when it comes to building sites.

Just use FrontPage

No swearing.

LOL

I note rebol.com has frontpage extensions enabled ..

Carl should use it to save time

I doubt that would save him time - all of rebol.com is generated 
from scripts, mostly WIP in the new site.

Brian .. I wuz kidding ....

but he needs a web master ... doing all of this by himself is not 
very efficient

Whew, I was worried about you for a second - was about to call the 
psychiatrist...

And he asked for volunteers, got some and then ignored them ... so 
if you're still calling the psychiatrist ... you know where to send 
him.

Right now the project is just migrating the data to the new format. 
That's a programming problem.

now my ftp scheme is doing what I need .. I can move onto my fax:// 
scheme which uses the ftp protocol but on port 4559

btw, thank you Graham for spearheading this scheme initiative  :-)

DELE, MKD etc are all done now.

Someone had to step forward ...

and as I'm the oldest here ... lol

hhehe

of course couldn't have got far without Andreas' and Steeve's help

Just finished installing virtualbox, and now going to install hyalfax 
... but no modem so not sure how I can test it

installed ubuntu server .. downloaded that using the ftp:// scheme 
:)

There's such a thing as a software modem .. IAXmodem ... but not 
sure if I need Asterisk as well :(

This is pretty cool ... I can talk the hylafax server running in 
virtualbox using the ftp scheme.

Do we need imap:// ??

It's a poorly specified protocol that is a lot of work to implement 
...

never used finger://, whois:// nntp:// ....

I use nntp all the time. It's also called Usenet.

from REBOL ?

Not as often lately, but if it were available in R3 I would use it.

I wonder what's required to write a torrent client ...
