I've removed the code that uses the e-mail address as the FTP password for anonymous FTPs.
Does that mean that general-purpose ftp won't be accepted unless the user gives up their email? Greaaaaaaat... Can't have it both ways, I guess. What can be added as far as user control; inline vs non-inline, for example.
I'm not sure I understand what you are saying, so I will try to re-state what we are doing. By default for anonymous FTP we will send the string "mozilla@" for the anon password. This is similar to Mosaic and Internet Explorer, which send "webuser@". If the user wants to send their real address, or anything else, they can type an ftp URL that will allow them to enter the password. I hope to add an option so that the user can decide for themselves to send or not send their identity. Note that we do not currently send the HTTP 'From:' header. Some users would like an option to turn it on.
The FTP explanation certainly explains why my personal system is able to confuse the username part of it. And I know there's nothing anyone can do about the reverse-ip, but what about http referral field? Will there be a way to turn off (blank, actually) this field?
I would like to add a way to turn it off, but it won't happen in 2.0.
Jeff, your efforts are certainly appreciated - your ability to get these things done is most valuable.
Thanks. I just wish I had been able to attend yesterdays cypherpunk gathering rather than having to fix this bug. Sigh.
Regarding the anonymizer: First, are there any working anonymizers yet? Second, is there any ISP that would be willing to give a home to the anonymizer?
I think that there are several. The one at CMU can be reached at http://anonymizer.cs.cmu.edu:8080/open.html. I thought that Sameer had one at c2.org, but a quick look at his web site didn't turn up anything. --Jeff -- Jeff Weinstein - Electronic Munitions Specialist Netscape Communication Corporation jsw@netscape.com - http://home.netscape.com/people/jsw Any opinions expressed above are mine.
