Correct me if I''m wrong here but doesn''t this mean that any dork with a free website can send a script their their client and easily grab the unprotected content of any other site, parse through it all and display it as their own, thus sucking up my bandwidth and none of their own, and not only that, I can''t even block the jerk because it''s not his/her server that''ll be hammering mine, it''ll be his clients that do it. I understand that there are loads of other ways to accomplish the same thing, but nearly all of them revolve around a central server, which can usually (and easily) be blocked. Additionally, I can''t see why many admins would need access to something like this. If you are the admin of several different sites you probably already do, or could have, access to the necessary data by means other than javascript. Please tell me there is an upside to having this added capability?

This doesn''t do anything that the "dork" couldn''t already do. Copy paste a "View Source" from your site and make sure that all the links and resources are pulled from your site and then server the HTML from his page. All this does is some clever tricks with <script> tags. Any 5th grade dork can create a <script> tag.> Additionally, I can''t see why many admins would need access to something > like this.

What happens when you want to use someone others site''s API to create a Mashup? If you can offload the download and processing to the client you''ve saved a ton of time, bandwidth and CPU. -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
