RE: [Blocks-development] V0.15 readvertisement of locally cache f iles

It will be a random route, based on current existing routes? So not to
"fake" it by advertising a route to the file that isn't real to begin with.

Subject: [Blocks-development] V0.15 readvertisement of locally cache
files


Here is an idea...

at the moment the V0.15 is going to readvertise the most
recent 1024 non-local file advertisements to newly connected
servers. Local files are not rebroadcast in order to stop
people connecting to see what you are serving directly.

So, what if I change it so that V0.15 makes up a bogus random
single character route for each locally cached file. Then
connecting clients wont be able to tell if the server has it
itself, or one immediately adjacent to it. The bogus route
will be valid since the server will intercept requests it
can furfill out of cache.

Comments?

PS Other than this, and a quick check it still works on Solaris,
   V0.15 is pretty much done :)
