OK, I'm making a lot of changes at the moment - give me a few days and I will send out a link to a publicly accessible repository. While I have your attention, perhaps I can trouble the list with a design pattern question. I would like to host my own website that allows people to explore Connotea (as well as other sites) using a tag cloud style interface. To make use of the web api, I need to send a user name and a password. Is there any way that I can send requests from my website that are authenticated without the need for me to process a user's information? At the moment, I can either use my own information (hopefully you won't shut down my account..) or request the info from the user - which is not ideal for privacy purposes. If I could somehow get the users info from their browser in an encrypted format, then, assuming they are logged in, perhaps I could use their info for the authentication without ever actually "seeing" it?? Simpler just to use my account and request that its not blocked if it starts to generate heavy load I guess. ? -Ben (G) On Aug 9, 2006, at 8:46 AM, Lund, Ben wrote: > Hi Ben (G), > > I would obviously love to see what you've put together. > > Ta, > B (L) > > > On 9/8/06 16:38, "Benjamin Good" <go...@in...> wrote: > >> Thanks Martin, >> >> Happy to know I wasn't misunderstanding (for once).
