Hello all,
[Sorry if you receive this message more than once...
due to recent rebol list problems...]
script safe-object-transfert.r
http://rebol.mksa.net/sot/
PURPOSE:
REBOL objects provide a convenient way to send/receive data.
However, unless relying on a trusted source ***and*** using a crypted
transfert,
issuing a 'do on received data is potentially dangerous;
relying on methods of the objects may also be dangerous, unless in trusted
situations.
The 'construct word provides a partial solution.
But problems arise if you want to transfert ***a complex data structure ***
(objects encapsulated into objects).
Our 'safe-object-transfer.r adresses this issue.
The script is extensively documented.
