cit number in the referer string (Wishlist)
cit number in the referer string // WishlistcodewarriorAug 17, 2003, 2:24am
Sure would round out the rest of the stuff that's in there now.
It would be lovely... tourist versions of all your precious models, and versions only the real citizens can see. Might even spur more people to sign up. Would surely make model makers and world owners happier. At least people from other universes would have to aqcuire a full on cit to steal things, and you could have a list of allowed citizens on your OP anyway and only allow the specific ones you want to access your path to see your models and stuff. Just a thought. Noone will like the idea of course. It can still be done anyway using other means. It would just be so convenient if the cit number were there. bowenAug 17, 2003, 2:40am

Something like this could probably be jimmy rigged with a SDK app... or
with mod-able server whenever that comes out. -- --Bowen-- No of SETI units returned: 69 Processing time: 57 days, 10 hours. (Total hours: 1378) www.setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu codewarriorAug 17, 2003, 3:53am
I'm not sure an SDK app would work. The referer string is being supplied by
the browser and it could even just be making the whole referer string up locally. There's no real reason for it to be coming from the server. An SDK app couldn't supply a different referer from what the browser is now doing on behalf of everyone who visits a given world. A moddable server might do the trick, but only if it's the server that is supplying the referer string to the browser, and that is not certain. If the browser did supply the cit, you could do cool things with just your average FTP only world setup, and without complex session management on the server. It could just be an extra option in the new world options setup "Tack cit number on end of referer string". [View Quote] codewarriorAug 17, 2003, 3:54am
Damn proportional font no frreaking column number readout stupid modern text
editing abominations.... codewarriorAug 17, 2003, 4:00am
If the idea of personally identifying browsers in the referer is
objectionable, then an alternative would be to at least classify the access type into: tourist citizen caretaker owner Any other categories that make sense within the rights framework would be fine. bowenAug 17, 2003, 4:19am

Yeah, that would definately be better. The only problem with a jimmy
rigged version is that whatever version loads first is all that you see with AW's current system. -- --Bowen-- No of SETI units returned: 69 Processing time: 57 days, 10 hours. (Total hours: 1378) www.setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu joemanAug 17, 2003, 4:56am
This is one of the better ideas that has come across this here newsgroup. I
hope AW *actually* reads this thing still... -Joe [View Quote] codewarriorAug 17, 2003, 5:27am
Well I assume someday they are going to implement a cache flushing
mechanism for the object servers :-) Using the old time saving argument again, if every world owner changes their avatars.dat file every two months, and spends one minute telling ten people each time to flush their caches, there's an hour per world owner per year in time saved if there is a way to flush the cache automatically. Touching a file on the world server is a pretty easy way to signal a cache flush, and it doesn't need a PHP enabled server to work, although such a file could easily be managed by a server side scripting system if you wanted to.
